The Audubon Community Nature Center is thrilled to announce its highly anticipated Nature Photography Contest for the year 2024. With a staggering $1,600 in prize money up for grabs, this contest is a golden opportunity for photography enthusiasts to showcase their talent and love for nature.
Open to both adults and youth aged 8-18, the contest features four categories in which participants can compete for a chance to win $200 in cash. These categories include Wildlife, Scapes, Macros and Close-up Details, and a special Community Choice award.
Participants in the Wildlife category can capture the beauty of any wild animal, whether it’s a bird, mammal, fish, insect, or even a snail. However, photographs of animals in captivity, such as pets or zoo residents, will not be accepted.
For those with a passion for capturing stunning landscapes and natural scenes, the Scapes category is the perfect platform. From majestic mountains and serene ponds to captivating weather phenomena and vibrant rainbows, photographers can let their creativity run wild.
The Macros and Close-up Details category provides photographers with the opportunity to showcase the intricate beauty of both small and large subjects. Whether it’s a minute detail on a flower petal or the captivating gaze of an animal’s eye, this category invites participants to explore the world of close-up photography.
In addition to the judge-selected winners in each category, there is also a Community Choice award that allows participants to garner the most votes online. Winning the Community Choice award and a judged award is not out of reach, as a photograph can receive recognition in both categories.
The winning and honorable mention photographs will be displayed on the contest website, exhibited at the Nature Center, and highlighted in a widely distributed news release. This provides an excellent platform for photographers to gain exposure for their work.
