Wikimedia Australia and Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand are pleased to announce the winners of the 2025 Wiki Science Competition for Australia and New Zealand. This year’s competition was the first to be run jointly between the two countries.
Thank you to every participant who made this competition a success. With 161 entries from 28 people, this year’s competition attracted a diverse group of new and experienced editors. Our judges used the Montage tool to select winners across multiple categories. They aimed to recognise exceptional work in wildlife and nature photography, microscopy, astronomy photography, and non-photographic media that highlights the everyday work of scientists. Congratulations to all winners whose visual storytelling helps bring science to life.
Visit our competition page to view the complete list of winners and finalists for Australia and New Zealand, and we encourage you to explore the full gallery of entries.
