Bugs to badgers: Photography winners on show at Ironbridge exhibition
Award winning photography work celebrating British wildlife is set to be featured in a Shropshire art gallery.
The free exhibition in Ironbridge will be made up of work from the winners and commended entries of the 2018 British Wildlife Photography Awards.
Focused on celebrating the wildlife in Britain, work from talented amateur and professional photographers will be on display in the Footprint Gallery, next to Jackfield Tile Museum.
Running from May 11 to September 10, the exhibition aims to highlight the great wealth and diversity of Britain's natural history, providing a showcase for the very best nature photography with evocative and powerful imagery, encouraging discovery, exploration, conservation and enjoyment of wildlife.
Established in 2009, the British Wildlife Photography Awards were set up to raise awareness about British biodiversity, species and habitats.
As well as having their work showcased in the exhibition, the winners and commended entrants are featured in a specialist wildlife publication.
Applications and submissions for the 2019 British Wildlife Photography Awards are currently open, closing on April 6.
The Footprint Gallery at Jackfield Tile Museum is open every day between 10am and 4pm.
