The British Veterinary Association has launched the 2021 BVA Veterinary Photographer of the Year Award.
Past competitions have proved extremely popular, attracting hundreds of entries from across the profession.
The UK’s largest membership body for vets is once again calling for members with a creative eye to capture images of their daily work and showcase some of the best companion animal and wildlife photography.
In 2019, Laura Caballero Pastor took top spot in the One veterinary community category with her poignant shot of Nepalese locals vaccinating a street dog against rabies, entitled ‘One shot, two lives’.
And Jennifer Dykes took top spot in the All creatures great and small category with her picturesque image of a misty UK mountainside and flock of sheep, entitled ‘Conversations at Dawn’.
WILDLIFE
This year’s BVA’s Veterinary Photographer of the Year Award is split into three categories focusing on images that capture the human-animal bond in day-to-day veterinary work, as well as photos of pets or wildlife taken outside of the working environment.
The three categories are: A vet’s life in lockdown, All creatures great and small and Happy pets that make us smile.
Sponsored by iM3 veterinary dentistry, the award offers the winner of each category £250 worth of John Lewis vouchers. It is planned that the winning images, along with the highly commended entries, will be displayed at BVA Live on in June.
