Among the 40 photos shortlisted for the 2022 Wildlife Comedy Photography Awards from around the world are a superhero squirrel, a lion cub planting its face in a tree and a very expressive monkey.
The awards were co-founded in 2015 by professional photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam.
In a press release, the duo said their goal was “to create a competition that focuses on the lighter, more humorous side of wildlife photography, but also plays an important role in promoting wildlife conservation.”
“With so much going on in the world, we could all use a dose of fun and laughter and this year’s finalists definitely delivered on that,” Sullam said.
Each year, the competition supports a conservation organization – and this year it’s working with the Whitley Fund for Nature, a UK charity that supports conservation in the global south.
Members of the public can vote for the picture they found the funniest clicking here until November 27th. The category and overall winners will be announced on December 8th.
In 2021, the overall winner of the competition was Ken Jensen’s photo of a monkey stuck in a painful position on a wire.
