Wildlife Photography Exhibit Competition

Have some great wildlife photos? Submit them to a wildlife print photography competition.

Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands and other areas including the most developed urban areas. The term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors. The global wildlife population has decreased by 52 percent between 1970 and 2014, according to a report by the World Wildlife Fund.

Wildlife that is common in the world today may not be so common in the future. Photography is one of the many ways you can get out and embrace wildlife in a non-destructive way. Whether it’s capturing the image of unique creatures, life in breath-taking habitats or the animals that visit in your backyard – soaking up wildlife through the lens is a truly great way to share and connect with nature.

DEADLINE: Deadline to enter is by the March 6, 2018 General Meeting.
PRIZE: $50 Bedford Camera and Video gift certificate. Top 12 images will be included in the Gallery Presentation.
