GDT European Wildlife Photographer of the Year is an annual international wildlife photography competition. The competition is organised by The German Society for Nature Photography (GDT).[1][2] The competition is considered to be one of the most prestigious wildlife photography competitions in Europe.[3]

The first competition was held in 2001 and is open for photographers residing in Europe and also for GDT members.[4][5] In 2021 over 19,000 images were submitted to the competition.[6][7]
