BVA launches 2022 photography competition
The Veterinary Photographer of the Year Award showcases the best companion animal and wildlife photography.
The BVA has launched its annual photography competition, with £250 worth of John Lewis vouchers up for grabs and a chance for the most highly-commended images to go on display at BVA Live.
Now in its sixth year, the Veterinary Photographer of the Year Award showcases the best companion animal and wildlife photography and attracts hundreds of entries. This year the competition includes a brand-new sustainability category to coincide with BVA President Justine Shotton’s presidential theme.
“Every year it is so exciting to see the incredible photos which are sent in for the BVA Veterinary Photographer of the Year Award," commented BVA President Justine. “The amazing photos captured by our members never fail to impress and amaze, and we are always blown away by the high standard of all the entries."
Last year’s awards saw Adele Williams scoop the ‘Vet’s life in lockdown’ category with her emotive image of a vet mum nursing her baby while simultaneously working on referral reports, titled ‘A new working normal: multitasking to new levels’.
The All creatures great and small category was won by Ellie Dudson, with her photo ‘In the spotlight’, which showed a cow bathed in sunlight in a parlour. Happy pets that make us smile was won by Harriet Williams with her photo ‘In Expectant Anticipation of a Tennis Ball’, picturing a very excited dog playing on a beach.
The categories for 2022 are as follows:
Sustainable futures
What does a sustainable future look like for the veterinary profession and animals? Exploring the impact of climate change and celebrating efforts to create a greener future for humans and animals alike.
All creatures great and small
An opportunity to look at the vast diversity of the animal kingdom: domestic, agricultural and all aspects of wildlife
Happy pets that make us smile
Reflecting the joy of a happy, contented animal
All BVA members are invited to participate in the competition and membership must be active at the time of entering. The competition remains open until 9 am on Monday 14 February 2022, with the winners announced in April.
