Lyndal Irons, Winners: 2025 Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year awards, Australian Geographic, 28 August 2025
The winning images of the 2025 Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year awards have been announced, showcasing our natural world across the ANZANG bioregion – Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and New Guinea.
Nature is constantly in transition – perhaps more so now than ever before in human history. Thanks to its longevity, the Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year (AGNPOTY) competition provides a unique chance to reflect meaningfully on recent change in our part of the world.
Owned by the South Australian Museum and produced in partnership with Australian Geographic, the competition has been running for 22 years and sets the standard for photographers in this genre. It creates a powerful catalogue of the shifting environments across Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and New Guinea.
