The Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition is beginning its annual search for the best and most astonishing images from around the world, whether they come from the wildest places on Earth or urban gardens. With the bar being raised each year, the 2009 competition promises to be bigger and more inspiring than ever before.

'This is the greatest and most prestigious competition for wildlife photographers anywhere in the world. It raises the profile of wildlife photography and provokes a wider awareness of wildlife conservation. It is not just professionals who are successful - amateurs of all ages have won awards in the competition many times. In recent years the judges have been particularly impressed by the standard of images being produced by many young people.' Mark Carwardine (Chairman of the judges).

The winning photographer will be presented with £10,000 at an awards ceremony at the Natural History Museum, London, in October. Each category winner receives £500 and every runner-up £250. Special Award winners receive £1,000.


Into the Big Empty

If the wild steppes of Mongolia could be transported to America's West, Wyoming's Red Desert would come close. This vast high cold desert, nicknamed the "Big Empty," is the size of Vermont, yet remains little known beyond the views whizzing by along Interstate 80. The Red Desert is home to pronghorn antelope 50,000 strong and contains some of the best remaining greater sage grouse breeding habitat in the West. Here, the largest active sand dune system outside the Sahara Desert rolls across a Martian landscape, only to rest against canyons full of hoodoos and archways that could rival Bryce Canyon and Arches National Park put together. But the "Big Empty" is filling up fast.
