The Natural History Museum and BBC Wildlife magazine have revealed the first two winning images from the 2009 Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.

Footprints by Robert Friel and Hare Spat by Morten Hilmer were announced as two of the winning pictures to mark the opening of ticket sales for this year's awards exhibition.

Kensington hotel guests will be able to visit the Natural History Museum from 23 October to see a selection of nearly 100 shots that have been selected from more than 43,000 entries.

Competition manager Gemma Webster said that the record number of submissions highlights the international appeal of the competition.

"This year we had the first-ever entries from photographers in Bangladesh, Guatemala, Macedonia, Oman, Qatar, Tunisia and Bahrain, and we've had our first category winners from Estonia, Zambia and the Czech Republic," she commented.

Another attraction for Kensington hotel guests to look out for at the Natural History Museum this year is the Darwin Centre, which is due to open on September 15th.
