British Wildlife Photography Awards

[Holowlegs]

Just a head up.

This is a new competition this year. British Wildlife Photography Awards


Categories



1. Animal portraits
We are looking for an image that captures the character or spirit of the subject in an imaginative way. We want to be able to get a sense of the animal’s “personality” from the photograph. All species will be considered.
2. Animal behaviour
Entries should show unusual or remarkable behaviour in an original and compelling composition. Show the judges something they don’t know or haven’t seen before. All species will be considered.
3. Urban wildlife
Increasingly, wildlife can be found in our towns and cities. We are looking for an original image that shows animal adaptation to urban environments. All species will be considered.
4. Hidden Britain
Reveal to us the secret universe that is life in the undergrowth – a life that is all around us but rarely seen. Invertibrate species only will be considered.
5. Coast and marine
We are looking for an imaginative photograph that reveals the behaviour of marine animals or creates a sense of place or occasion. Marine animals near the sea, underwater, at the sea shore and coastal zone, only will be considered.
6. Wildlife in my locality
One of the remits of BWPA is to encourage you to explore and discover your local area. Images must have been photographed in the county in which you live on the date the image is entered (proof of location may be requested). All species will be considered.
7. Habitat
Animals in their environment and plants and their partners. We are looking for an imaginative and original image that powerfully portrays the relationship between animals and their environment. This includes plants and their partners. Eg: butterfly feeding on nectar and rooks roosting in a tree. Without plants there is no life.

Its one of the things I want to do a bit more of this year.

Last year I only entered one outside the camera club and here.


Got an idea for one picture already.
