This year’s award-winning images, on loan from the Natural History Museum in London, are currently on display in Cape Town and then move on to Johannesburg and will open on 1 May at The Sheds@1Fox.
This year's exhibition boasts 13 images by South African Finalists and Winners for the various categories featured.
Remarkably, for the first time ever a father and son duo have been chosen as finalists in the same year, for one WPY exhibition. The South African father and son entrants, Wim and Juan van der Heever, were both commended for their work in this year’s WPY.
