Competition theme for 2025
The theme of the 2025 Royal Society of Biology Photography Competition is Restoring Biodiversity and Habitat.
The competition is now open to entries until 19 June 2025. You can enter our competition free of charge and you can send us your photographs via our competition page on mySociety.
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.
