Chiswick wildlife photography competition
Jun 28, 2023
Joanne Gilbert of WildChiswick is running a wildlife photograph competition in association with the Chiswick Flower Market. The judges are not looking for a professional photograph but for images from anyone who has been out and about in Chiswick and spotted something in nature that appeals to them.
There is a separate category for those under the age of 16 years to show their enthusiasm and love of nature.
WildChiswick would like us to check out the wonderful biodiversity around us in Chiswick. Take time out and look around – in hedges, on the ground, in ponds, trees and on flowers -everywhere! Snap away with your camera and share photos so we can all enjoy the wonder of the natural world around us.
BE IN IT TO WIN IT
Snap some nature pics around Chiswick W4 and enter them into the competition! Have a look at the photos on the website for inspiration.
An important part of the competition entry will be a short paragraph to accompany your photograph explaining the subject and why you wanted to capture it. Entries must be submitted electronically at snapwildchiswick.com.
CATEGORIES
• Mammals: mice, voles, rats and hedgehogs
• Insects and invertebrates: bees, butterflies, dragonflies, bugs, beetles, wasps, spiders, slugs and snails
• Birds: big or small, in the river, lake or garden
• Amphibians and reptiles: newts, frogs, toads, lizards and snakes
• Plants: plants for food, nesting, and safety from predators, flowers, trees and bushes
• Wild ones: a category for age 16 and younger
Here are submission rules and judging criteria.
