Wildlife Artist of the Year

Wildlife Artist of the Year showcases the beauty and colour of the natural world, supports some of the world’s finest and most exciting wildlife art, and raises vital awareness and funds to protect endangered species.

Founded 10 years ago by the late David Shepherd CBE FRSA 1931 – 2017, every entry, and proceeds from all sales, supports David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation’s (DSWF’s) work to fight wildlife crime, protect endangered species, and engage local communities with their native wildlife across Africa and Asia.

The prestigious annual competition receives entries from artists across the globe and brings together myriad forms and media. Each year, shortlisted entries are exhibited for sale, from which category winners and an overall winner are selected by an expert panel of judges.
