Photo Competition
Have you ever dreamt of following in the footsteps of greats like Monty Sloan, Jamie Dutcher or Art Wolfe and
pursuing a career as a wildlife photographer? If so, this may be something to help you on your way!
Monday 4th February to Monday 5th August 2013.
The UK Wolf Conservation Trust is excited to announce the launch of its new annual wildlife photography competition, in memory of Joan Paddick, who was a keen photographer and valued volunteer of The UK Wolf Conservation Trust. Joan was known for her quirky images and in light of this, freshness, originality, creativity and innovation will need to be in the forefront of entrants’ minds while they are lining up their shot and should be reflected in all submitted images. This year’s theme for the competition is ‘British Wildlife’. The competition is open to everyone with a camera and a passion for wildlife! We are looking to promote an eco-friendly ethos while out photographing wildlife in their natural environments, therefore entrants must bear this in mind and consider the welfare of their subjects to ensure that they do not do anything to injure or distress any animals or destroy their habitat in an attempt to secure an image.
