We have detected 58 Wolf-Rayet candidates in the central region of the nearbyspiral galaxy NGC 300, based on deep VLT-FORS2 narrow-band imaging. Our surveyis close to complete except for heavily reddened WR stars. Of the objects inour list, 16 stars were already spectroscopically confirmed as WR stars bySchild & Testor and Breysacher et al., to which 4 stars are added using lowresolution FORS2 datasets. The WR population of NGC300 now totals 60,athreefold increase over previous surveys, with WC/WN>1/3, in reasonableagreement with Local Group galaxies for a moderately sub-solar metallicity. Wealso discuss the WR surface density in the central region of NGC 300. Finally,analyses are presented for two apparently single WC stars - #29 (alias WR3,WC5) and #48 (alias WR13, WC4) located close to the nucleus, and at adeprojected radius of 2.5 kpc, respectively. These are among the first modelsof WR stars in galaxies beyond the Local Group, and are compared with early WCstars in our Galaxy and LMC.Comment: 12 pages, 12 figures, submitted to A&A (includes aa.cls) - version  with higher resolution finding charts available from  ftp://ftp.star.ucl.ac.uk/pub/pac/ngc300.ps.g
