JAMESTOWN, N.Y. – Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) is currently accepting submissions for its 2020 Nature Photography Contest.
A fun and inspiring outdoor activity is taking a photograph that could win one of the Photography Contest prizes and be seen by thousands of people.
This year’s judge, Alex Shipherd, advises, “The Contest categories leave the field wide open for whatever fascinates you as a nature photographer. Don’t be shy. Search out something that captivates you, and take your best shot!”
Cash prizes of $200 will be awarded to winners in both the Youth (ages 8 to 18, or still in high school) and Adult (ages 18 or older, or out of high school) divisions in all three categories of: Wildlife Portraits; Macro Abstracts or Habitats and Landscapes.
ACNC will print the winning photographs to exhibit in the Nature Center, and winners will be named in a news release that is widely distributed, including to their local media, when known.
The six winning photographs and 12 finalists — six youth and six adults — will be displayed indefinitely on the contest website along with the photographer’s name and city/state/country.
Deadline for submission of photographs is Aug. 31, 2020.
Full details of the competition as well as images of previous winners and finalists can be found at ACNCPhotoContest.com.
