National Wildlife Refuge Association Launches Photo Contest

November 5, 2007

The National Wildlife Refuge Association (NWRA) has announced its third annual digital photo contest, showcasing America’s Refuge System. Entries for the 2008 Refuge Photo Contest may be submitted until December 15th, 2007. Results will be announced in March 2008 in connection with the 105th anniversary of the establishment of the first national wildlife refuge. The images must be taken on Refuge System property.

This year, Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. has donated the grand prize: a 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Other prizes include a class at the Art Wolfe Digital Photography Center, a Canon EOS 40D Camera, Steiner 8x42 Peregrine Binoculars, a TrekPod, and offerings from Barbara’s Bakery, Wild Bird Centers of America, and Houghton Mifflin.

At least 200 images will be selected for inclusion in the NWRA Refuge Image Library, and every photographer submitting an entry will receive a one-year membership in the National Wildlife Refuge Association.
