WallMag Nature Photography Awards 2026 β€” Top 100 Finalists Announced

We are thrilled to announce the Top 100 Finalists for the WallMag Nature Photography Awards 2026! Shoot Nature Β· Submit Β· Win

πŸ”— Award Page: https://wallmag.io/awards/wallmag-nature-photography-awards-2026

  • πŸ“… Finalists Announced: 25 September 2026
  • πŸ† Winners Announced: 2 October 2026
  • πŸ—³οΈ Voting Open Until: 2 October 2026

Why We Launched This Award

Nature and wildlife photography asks for the one thing that cannot be faked: time. Days in a hide, seasons spent learning an animal's routine, a single frame that justifies the wait. It is a craft with enormous patience behind it and very little visibility in front of it, especially for photographers working outside the big wildlife circuits. We launched this award to give that patience somewhere to land, and to let the community decide what deserves attention rather than an editor with a house style.

How Are Finalists Selected?

Every entry was scored by the WallMag community. Over the entry window, creators, peers and readers voted on the work itself, and those votes decided this shortlist β€” nothing else. The 100 finalists below are the ones the community put forward. No editor overruled that, and no entry was advanced because of a follower count.

πŸ“– Learn how our voting system works β†’

How Are Winners Decided?

This is where our jury joins in. From today, an independent panel scores the shortlist, and their evaluation carries 80% of the final standing while community votes carry the remaining 20%. Voting stays open while the jury works, so the community still has a real say in who takes the top three.

πŸ—³οΈ Cast your vote before 2 October 2026!


The finalists below are listed by vote score, highest first. Final winners will be announced on 2 October 2026.

Where the city still breathes

By: Anirban Mudi

Where the city still breathes

Bengaluru is constantly growing- new roads, buildings and concrete reshaping it's landscape. Yet, tucked within this urban sprawl are lakes where nature continues to holds its ground. These photographs come from my many mornings and evenings spent around Bengaluru lakes, watching patiently and photographing the birds that call them home.
