Re: British Wildlife Photography Awards

Not knocking this.
However some ten years ago there was a similar event - I can't recall the title now.

I took part and sent a number of both 35mm and 6x6 transparencies, the best I had. I heard nothing some months later I wrote to try and get my transparencies back - letter returned - NO LONGER AT THIS ADDRESS!

That summer I was in Cornwall, looking around a gift shop only to see a rack of postcards of various British mammals - My pictures. These postcards were widespread throughout gift shops in Cornwall and Devon.

Despite a lot of letter writing I never got my transparencies back nor any fee for the pictures.

Just a friendly warning!
