Nature photography competition

Entries are now closed for 2025. Thank you to everyone who submitted - the winners for 2025 have been announced here.

Our 2025 competition saw over 1,100 photos showcasing Norfolk’s landscapes, wildlife and plants submitted.

Taking on the task of narrowing down the entries was our panel of judges: photographers Megan James, Fiona Burrage and Jimmy King; graphic designer Hannah Moulton; and NWT Youth Forum member Josh Pepper. The top photos featured in our 2026 calendar, with the highly commended photos also featuring in an exhibition. Our judges chose photos they thought best showed the beauty of Norfolk’s nature through the eyes of the people that love it. 

This year’s Overall Winner, Alan Dixon’s fox cubs, perfectly captured the characters of the cubs playing on a warm spring evening. The judges saw many impressive images by young photographers, with their favourite, 22-year-old Nathan Allen’s fox, winning them over with its skilful capturing of the fox’s inquisitiveness. This year we introduced a Mobile Phone Photography category, with winner Lori Coral captivating the judges with her photo of startled pigeons taking flight above Norwich Market – capturing a moment familiar to anyone walking through city!

With thanks to world-leading optics manufacturer ZEISS for their sponsorship of our competition, along with brilliant local companies Lisa Angel, SOP, and WILD Sounds & Books. 

The NWT Nature Photography Competition will return in summer 2026.
