The Bailiwick Wildlife Photography Exhibition is a staple of the Guernsey Arts exhibition lineup.
Showcasing the unique and varied range of wildlife that our beloved Bailiwick has to offer, Guernsey Arts is very pleased to announce that we are now accepting submissions for the 2025 Bailiwick Wildlife Photography Exhibition.
This year, the exhibition is celebrating the following categories:
- Birds,
- Insects,
- Marine,
- Bailiwick Animals,
- Film & Video and
- Patterns in Nature.
New for 2025, the Bailiwick Wildlife Photography Exhibition will be collaborating with The Pollinator Project, welcoming a new ‘Pollinator’ category. This category, for students in full or part time education under the age of 24, will highlight the importance of pollinators within our local ecosystem. The ‘Pollinator’ Category will feature a separate judging panel and will introduce a new award – the ‘Barry Wells Award’ named after the late co-founder of the pollinator project. Barry, who was the exhibition’s Guest Judge and Featured Photographer for 2024, was an overall wildlife enthusiast who pioneered education on pollinators across the Island’s schools and community groups. We are honoured to be celebrating his legacy, encouraging the next generation to learn about the impact of pollinators locally.
The Wildlife Photography Exhibition celebrates the local community and wildlife, with an increasing number of entrants and the quality of images submitted improves year on year.
This year, the exhibition travelled to both Sark and Alderney, making the exhibition accessible to all within the Bailiwick.
The featured photographer this year is John Horton. Based in Alderney, John is a local flora and fauna expert with a keen eye for rare species. John’s photography will be featuring birds and his work will take flight on the walls of the Greenhouse Gallery.
Submissions can be completed online or a physical copy can be collected from the Guernsey Arts office based at Guernsey Museums at Candie. Submissions Close 1st December 2024.
