Check out the winners of the 2024 Biosphere Summer Photo Contest

The votes are in, and congratulations to the winners of the 2024 Biosphere Summer Photo Contest: First place goes to Angelina Piette’s view of two-toed sloth; tied for second place are Robert Espinoza’s view of a giant Atlas moth and Michael Summers’s closeup portrait of an owl. These three photographers have each won Bookshop.org gift cards, good for purchases from a nationwide network of independent booksellers.

Thanks to everyone who entered photos in the contest, and here’s hoping we’ll see more remarkable images of the living world next year!
