Royal Society of Biology Photography Competition
Short Description:
The Royal Society of Biology is a single unified voice for biology: advising Government and influencing policy; advancing education and professional development; supporting our members, and engaging and encouraging public interest in the life sciences. The Society represents a diverse membership of individuals, learned societies and other organisations.
Our vision is of a world that values biology’s contribution to improving life for all.
Our mission is to be a unifying voice for biology for the public benefit; to provide impartial evidence-based advice; to raise professional standards; to support biologists throughout their careers; to engage the public with our work; to support the bioscience community and to provide events and other fora for information exchange in the biosciences.
Theme:
The theme of the 2025 Royal Society of Biology Photography Competition is Restoring Biodiversity and Habitat.
This topic could mean so many things and we would love to see your interpretation. We’ve included some suggestions below to get you started.
• A habitat being restored for wildlife, or wildlife returning to an area it once thrived in.
• The creation of wildlife-friendly gardens and community spaces, new nature reserves, wildlife-friendly farming or re-wilding on land and in the sea. At home, in towns and cities, or away from human settlements.
• Whatever you choose, we want you to showcase animals, plants or fungi within their wider ecosystem - focus on the biodiversity of your chosen habitats whether that is a small space or a wide-open landscape.
• The photographs you send us could zoom in on a subject in extreme close-up using macro-photography, or show a wider perspective on land, underwater or even from above.
We are inviting all amateur photographers to send us up to three photographs that you have taken, to help you tell us your chosen story of the importance of Restoring Biodiversity and Habitat.
