WildArt Photographer of the Year 2023 Winners and Finalists

What a year 2023 has been! With thousands of entries received throughout the year as our eight competition categories played out, our judges had a hard task on their hands to select our winners each month. Our Gold, Silver, Bronze and Founder’s Choice Award winners from each category all went forward to the final selection, from which one image is chosen to be our WildArt Photographer of the Year 2023. Our Young winners from each category make up the selection for our overall Young WildArt Photographer of the Year winner.

Congratulations go to Hermis Haridas who is out WildArt Photographer of the Year for 2023 with his stunning image of a Hoopoe which united the judges in their choice. Hermis wins camera equipment from our sponsors OM System. Congratulations also go to Maksymilian Paczkowski who wins our Young WildArt Photographer of the Year title for 2023 with his image of nesting Kittiwakes. Maksymilian wins binoculars form our sponsor Swarovski Optik.
