Our annual photo contest is open right now, which means if you\u2019ve taken a pretty great photo, you should enter it!<\/h2>\n

What constitutes a pretty great photo?<\/p>\n

Mostly, you need to ask yourself the following: does the photo share a clear message of the wildlife that inspires you? Yes? Then send it<\/a>!<\/p>\n

If you want to get specific, there are some categories you can find inspiration in and some basics you\u2019ll want to take into account. Photos can be submitted in these five \u201cthemes\u201d or categories:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Landscapes<\/li>\n
  2. Animals\/Creatures<\/li>\n
  3. Flowers\/Trees\/Leaves<\/li>\n
  4. Animals in Cityscapes<\/li>\n
  5. People in Nature<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    They have fancier titles \u2013 check them out here<\/a> \u2013 but for simplicity sake, that\u2019s the main idea. You\u2019ll want to make sure you stick to natural and Canadian content (i.e. no photos of animals in zoos or aquariums). Also, if the species is invasive to our wildlife then it won\u2019t be counted for review \u2013 no matter how gorgeous the photo!<\/p>\n

    A Few More Tips<\/h3>\n

    Size Matters<\/h4>\n

    Photos need to be at least 2MB in resolution (a high-quality image) because we will be featuring winning images in our national wildlife magazines in the new year.<\/p>\n

    So Do The Little Things<\/h4>\n

    But more than anything it\u2019s the little things that really matter the most \u2013 especially this year. So if you\u2019re on a walk this fall, stop and find something to snap a photo of and send it our way. Or head out with the purpose of getting some great wildlife shots!<\/p>\n

    More to Come<\/h3>\n

    And come back soon, as we are going to be highlighting the stories behind the winning photos from a few of last years winning photographers.<\/p>\n
