British Wildlife Photography Awards
Tuesday 1st February 2011
A prestigious photography competition is today calling for entries – with a chance to win a cash prize of £5,000. And The Wildlife Trusts are proud to sponsor a new category.
Now in their third year the British Wildlife Photography Awards (BWPA) celebrate and recognise the talents of photographers of all nationalities practicing in the UK, whilst highlighting the wealth and diversity of the natural history of the British Isles.
With a prize fund of up to £20,000 and the overall winner receiving a cash prize of £5,000, the images receiving judges’ commendations will form part of a series of nationwide exhibitions. The BWPA aim to set the standard for wildlife photography in the UK, for many years to come.
The Wildlife Trusts is sponsoring a new category: A Living Landscape, Connectivity
Being connected to the natural world is great for our health, our happiness and for the future. All are inextricably linked. And so The Wildlife Trusts are working on a recovery plan for nature. It’s our vision to create a resilient environment; one rich in wildlife and great for people. What we call A Living Landscape.
This category is purposefully open to interpretation to encourage creativity and fresh and imaginative responses. Connectivity might be physical, sensory, seasonal or otherwise. We are keen to see how this category captures the imagination and how connectivity within the UK landscape is defined.
The Wildlife Trusts is sponsoring a new category: A Living Landscape, Connectivity
Positive images illustrating how habitats, species, communities and individuals are all connected, and interconnect, within our natural environment, either in rural and urban settings, are encouraged. Whether images capture an imaginative or purely narrative approach; are simple or complex, all will be breath-taking, mesmerising and powerful.
The closing date is Thursday 2 June 2011. Entrants will be able to submit entries online or via post. Find out more about the new categories, prizes and awards by visiting the website www.bwpawards.co.uk
