The British Wildlife Photography competition is open for entries. The closing date is 12th May 2012. Entrants will be able to submit entries on-line or via post.
There are 12 main categories to excite the imagination, as well as three special awards to encourage young people and school children to connect with nature. Unlike other wildlife competitions the Awards are uniquely British.
With a prize fund of up to £20,000 and the overall winner receiving a cash prize of £5,000, the images receiving judges’ commendations will form part of a series of nationwide exhibitions. The British Wildlife Photography Awards aim to set the standard for wildlife photography in the UK for many years to come.
There are also two special awards to encourage participation by young people, schools and youth community groups.
