Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust Photography Competition 2022
Would you like to appear in our very first Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust calendar 2023? Our photography competition has launched and is now open for entries!
If you think you’ve captured the beauty of Sheffield and Rotherham’s wildlife or wild places, or have taken an image that will inspire a love of the natural world, then complete our entry form and send us your photos!
Twelve lucky photographers will win an A4 space in our 2023 calendar and a copy of the calendar to proudly display. All entries will be judged by an judging panel including external guests to help us make those difficult decisions!
So whether you’re out and about on one of our nature reserves, in one of our towns, exploring the local countryside, or even in your own garden, keep your phone or camera handy to capture the action!
Closing date for entries: 31st July (Winners will be announced at our AGM on Thursday 29th September)
There are two ways to enter:
- You can upload your entry directly here
- Use WeTransfer.com or a similar file-sharing site to send your entries plus your entry form to photos@wildsheffield.com
Don’t forget…
- Do no harm – the welfare of the wildlife and the wild places always comes first
- Don’t get too close – let birds feed their young, move on if they’re agitated or calling ‘at you’
- Watch your feet – stay on paths (or within designated areas), don’t trample flowers to reach more flowers
- Know the law – familiarise yourself with protected species and the laws that protect them
- Know the lure – don’t use recordings to attract birds, they can disrupt the behaviour and risk the lives of chicks
