Focus on nature competition

Why not enter our wildlife photography competition to be in with a chance of winning a fantastic prize and having your work displayed alongside the Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition this summer?

Three different categories are available:

  • Landscapes - your surroundings in all their beauty: urban, rural, tourist, coastal, even your local park! This category can also include images of human impact -looking at how the landscape has been affected by us, from litter to landfill.
  • Animals - 2 legs, 4 legs, 6 or 8, wings or tails; underwater or in the air, the choice is yours!
  • Plants and their relatives - capture the unsung heroes of our natural environment from the tiniest flower to the largest tree.

The competition is divided into three age groups:

  • Primary - up to and including year 6
  • Secondary - up to and including year 11
  • Adult - years 12 and 13 and beyond
