WESTON is to host a prestigious photography exhibition that is renowned the world over next month.

The museum, in Burlington Street, will unveil 100 photographs from London's Natural History Museum Wildlife Photographer of the Year.

On loan for almost three months, exceptional images capturing animals and their behaviour hope to inspire a future of advocating for the planet. 

From November 26 until February 8, the one of a kind event will showcase only the best talents of the photography world. 

The competition launched in 1965 and today receives thousands of entries from 90 different countries. 

The winning images, including the Grand Title Award winners, were announced earlier this month at an awards show hosted by wildlife presenter and conservationist Chris Packham.

Dr Doug Gurr, Natural History Museum director, said: "Captured by some of the best photography talents from around the world, the 100 photographs encourage curiosity, connection and wonder.

"These inspiring images convey human impact on the natural world in a way that words cannot – from the urgency of declining biodiversity to the inspiring bounce back of a protected species."

The next Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition opens for entries on 17 October and closes on 8 December 2022.
