S.O.S. Photo Competition 2024
THE WINNERS!

We’re pleased to announce the winners in all categories of our 2024 Photo Competition, which this year posed a difficult task for our independent judge, wildlife photographer Liam Austin. With over 220 entries to consider we had a job of agreeing on just how to award the top prizes because the photographic talents of our visitors were remarkable. Together with the many members of the public who voted for their favourites in The People Choice categories on our website, we’d like to congratulate ALL the participants for the quality and sensitivity of their creative work. Thank you for participating - we hope you’ve enjoyed it!

JUNIOR CATEGORY - RESULTS
THE WINNERS!

2024 saw the largest number of entries in Junior Category of the S.O.S. Photo Competition than we have ever received before, and the quality of photographs submitted has gradually improved year after year - in fact, we had to check some of the images we received to make sure that they had been submitted to the right category! Our judge Liam Austin went through the nearly 100 entries before deciding on the winners of the top prizes, and we have also awarded commendations to many of these younger participants, as you will see.
