BPOTY 2019 People’s Choice Winners

Congratulations go to our 2019 People’s Choice Award Winners showcased below. Every year BPOTY allows the Photocrowd community to vote for their favourite images. This year we received over 1,200,000 votes - well done to our winners who accumulated the highest number of votes. Each image wins a £50 cash prize from specialist photo library Nature Photographers Ltd.

These awards should not be confused with the expert panel judging, results for which will be announced on 17 August 2019, including our overall Bird Photographer of the Year 2019 winner.
