Another North Carolina Photo Competition

This one is all about the wildlife. For all of you North Carolina photographers, it’s another chance to get your best shots in front of an audience.

For our sixth annual photo competition, Wildlife in North Carolina magazine is emphasizing quality over quantity. Last year, we received more than 8,800 entries—by far our most ever, and almost too many for our staff to handle. In response, we are reducing the number of photos you can enter in a category from three to two. We hope that this change will raise the quality of the overall pool of images.

Our founding partner, the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences, returns as a co-sponsor. The museum is a fantastic place to learn about North Carolina’s wildlife and wild places. Another co-sponsor, the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation, manages North Carolina’s outstanding state parks. These are ideal places to photograph wild animals and wild landscapes. Park rangers can give photographers expert advice on the best subjects, locations and times of year for nature photography in state parks. Thanks to co-sponsor UNC-TV, you don’t have to leave home to become educated about our state’s wonderful natural resources—just turn on North Carolina Public Television’s programming.

The deadline for entry is Sept. 1. Go to Wildlife in North Carolina Photo Competition for more information.
