The upcoming 10 Years of Remembering Wildlife will be the tenth title in the charity book series, which was started by wildlife photographer Margot Raggett MBE in 2016.
Prompted to take action after witnessing elephants being poached in Kenya, she asked her fellow wildlife photographers to contribute to a fundraising book.
Between them, Remembering Elephants and its successors – Remembering Rhinos, Remembering Great Apes, Remembering Lions, Remembering Cheetahs, Remembering African Wild Dogs, Remembering Bears, Remembering Leopards and Remembering Tigers – have raised over $1.54 million / £1.175 million / AU$2.31 million for 77 conservation projects across 33 countries.
For 2025, Raggett has announced that the next book in the series will be 10 Years of Remembering Wildlife.
Due to be published on October 09, the book will feature a selection of stunning images from previous entries plus new images of pangolins, donated by many of the world's leading wildlife photographers, including Todd Gustafson and Greg du Toit.
The work of up to 80 wildlife photographers will be included under the banner of 'Wildlife Photographers United' – and that’s where the Digital Camera World audience comes in.
Once again, Remembering Wildlife has teamed up with Digital Camera World to find images of any of the previous nine species plus pangolins via this competition. This year, there are up to twenty spaces for winners.
What to submit
Remembering Wildlife is looking for images taken in the wild only (no zoos, sanctuaries, rehabilitation centres, tagged / tracked animals or baited hides, please) of the following extant species, living in their native habitat:
- Elephants (both African and Asian)
- Rhinos
- Great apes
- Lions
- Cheetahs
- African wild dogs
- Bears
- Leopards
- Tigers
- Pangolins
The submitted images will be judged by a panel of six judges, including leading nature photographer Art Wolfe and wildlife photographer Federico Veronesi.
The judges are looking for striking and beautiful images that are true to the original scene, with nothing added or taken away. There should be minimal editing.

You will need to sign up and upload your pictures at the 10 Years of Remembering Wildlife competition page, where you can also find full terms and conditions.
The entry fee for the first image you submit is $12 / £10 / AU$19, with each subsequent entry costing $6 / £5 / AU$9. All funds raised after costs will go to conservation projects.
The deadline for submitting entries is Sunday March 09 2025.
The prizes
The 20 best photographs (2 per species, plus 2 pangolin images) in the opinion of the judging panel will be printed in the 10 Years of Remembering Wildlife book, alongside shots from some of the world’s best wildlife photographers.
The images will also be printed in issue 294 (May 2025) of Digital Camera magazine, which goes on sale on April 25.
Each winner will receive a copy of the 10 Years of Remembering Wildlife book and an invitation to attend the launch event at the Royal Geographical Society in London on October 09 2025.
