Our Natural History competition was run on 20 April, 2018, and judged again this year by Peter Orr.

Unlike our League competitions, where each image is given a score out of ten, the Natural History competition results in two trophy winners – one for print and one for PDI.

As well as the 1st place trophy winners, this year Peter elected to also award 2nd and 3rd places, and commend images in each category – awarding 23 images in all.

Here are the results and a selection of the winning images.
