Ajay Parmar’s photo of a striped hyena in India’s Velavadar National Park won the 2012 People’s Choice Award.Well, the 2014 National Wildlife Photo Contest is now closed. But, we still need your help selecting the winner of the 2014 People’s Choice Award. The final round of voting begins this weekend, July 28. Out of almost 30,000 entries, voters have already selected 64 finalists. You can vote for one photo per day through August 4.
The hyena photograph above was taken by Ajay Parmar, and was selected as the 2012 People’s Choice Award. The photos below all made it past the first round in 2012 and 2013, but no further. Still, they’re pretty wonderful, and I thought they’d inspire you to go vote for some of this year’s great photos.
