We're thrilled to announce the winners of the 2023 BirdLife Australia Photography Awards!

This year’s competition saw over 6,000 entries – and after much deliberation, our judges have decided the nine winners of each category. Congratulations to the winners!

Funds for bird conservation

Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors Nikon Australia and Lake Cowal Foundation, the winners will share in a prize pool of thousands of dollars.

But photographers aren’t the only winners in the competition – funds raised through entry fees support BirdLife Australia’s bird conservation work. This year, proceeds will go to our Birds on Farms project in central west NSW – helping landholders protect, restore and revegetate threatened woodland bird habitat on their properties.

The BirdLife Australia Photography Awards will be back in May 2024.
