Competition

Winners 2020

The results of the competition have been judged and we can now announce the winners for each species

The Photo Competition will help to produce a new edition of the Pocket Guide to Butterflies of Yorkshire, which has been so popular over the years. The new edition will feature some additional butterfly species which have been observed in Yorkshire since the production of the last one and also highlight species we may expect to find in the future in Yorkshire. The selections for the new booklet have not yet been completed.

The judges were Dave Wainwright - Senior Conservation Manager North of England for Butterfly Conservation and Oliver Wright a professional photographer with a passion for macro photography who is based in Yorkshire.
