Bird Photographer of the Year is partnered with the charity Birds on the Brink, which provides important funding to grass-roots conservation projects around the world. With the completion of the 2021 competition, BPOTY is pleased to make a £8,263.20 donation to the charity so it can continue its work.

Supporting conservation efforts has always been at the heart of Bird Photographer of the Year, and this is something that continues today.

Providing financial support to Birds on the Brink, which receives the majority of its funding from BPOTY, is made possible by photographers entering and supporting the competition each year.
