February Photography Competition

We've just opened a February Photography Competition in the Gallery.


How to Enter

Simply upload your images to the Gallery and place them in the relevant categories. If you'd like to enter photos that are already in the Gallery, then contact us with the photo URL and we'll move them over.

You must give a title to your photos to easily identify them when voting begins. There are six categories that you can enter and all submissions must be in by the end of February.


Competition Categories


Weather - this month Wild About Britain's theme is 'Weather'. All photos in this category must be related to the weather and could include clouds, sunsets, frost, snow, rain, puddles etc - but it doesn't matter when you took the photograph.

Banner - Entries in this category must be exactly 955 x 120 pixels, no more than a 15k filesize, they don't have to be weather-related, but they should be relevant to this time of year, and able to fit the 'Wild About Britain' text (we don't mind changing the colour of it) in the top-left corner, like this:

***See the one at the bottom of this page


The remaining categories don't have a specific wildlife theme and don't have to be weather-related photographs, but it's probably a good idea to keep them relevant to this time of year.


February - simply submit any wildlife photographs that you've taken this month – no cheating

Close-up - from a close-up of a bird to a macro photo of an insect

Landscapes - From a woodland trail up to a panoramic mountain range

Normal - everything in between the above



So there are several categories that you can put your photos in and that means you've got several opportunities to win, but we'll let you choose the category you think your photos should fit in.

You can submit as many photos as you like and you can enter them in as many categories as you like, but a single photo can only be entered in one category and one competition. This is to avoid having the same photo entered in multiple categories or having it re-submitted next month, the month after that, and so on.

Voting


Voting will take place for 7 days after the deadline and everyone will have the opportunity to vote on their favourite photographs in each category

Prizes


All winners will be added to a new Wild About Britain 'Award Winning Photographers' (working title?) section of the site.

A medium-sized image of the February photo will be placed on the Wild About Britain homepage for the following month.

Thumbnails of the first four categories – weather, close-up, landscapes and normal – will replace the four thumbnails in the Gallery box on the Wild About Britain homepage for the following month.

The banner will replace the banner at the top of the screen in the gallery for the following month.

At the end of the competition, all submissions will be moved to their relevant categories in the Gallery.

Photography competition

I have just noticed a category for a photography competition. There seems to be various catergories to enter. How does this work and what is required?

John

Re: February Photography Competition

I took some piccies at a Aquarium this month- would that come under the February Section or 'Normal' Section.

Cheers, Mark

Re: February Photography Competition

Just two days to go.

No entries for the banner category yet, although I'm just about to crop a few pics to add in

The deadline is 11:59 tomorrow night.

Re: February Photography Competition

Stuart

I posted a PM to you with three links to photos in the Gallery that I wanted to enter into the competition. As yet they are not in. Have I done something wrong in sending them like that to you. Should I have done it another way?

John

Re: February Photography Competition

Hi John,

Thanks for reminding me. Looks like it was another thing that I thought I'd done, but hadn't...I must stop trying to do things at 3am and just go and get some sleep instead

They've me been moved over to the competition categories now.

Stu

Do you know something Stuart - that sounds like a very good idea.

Re: February Photography Competition

Shame. I enjoy a friendly competition. We could have Kev Lewis and OY do the judging.
