ABOUT THE PHOTO COMPETITION
The World’s Rarest Birds will feature the images submitted for a prestigious international photographic competition, with some outstanding prizes.
In previous years, hundreds of images were submitted by photographers from across the world and many of these were published in the Rare Birds Yearbook. The money raised has helped to support international conservation efforts. We now want to build on that success and expand the competition to become the most important of its kind in the world. The result will be the only comprehensive photographic guide to the rarest and most threatened birds on earth. Entry to the competition is free, and anyone is welcome and encouraged to submit their images.
All contributors whose images are published will receive a free copy of the book and are eligible to buy additional copies for family and friends at a discounted rate. Contributors also have a chance of winning attractive prizes in The World's Rarest Birds Photo Competition, which has two categories:
- Birds that are listed as Critically Endangered or Extinct in the Wild; and
- Birds that are listed as Endangered or Data Deficient.
There are a range of prizes for each category and The World's Rarest Birds Photo Competition will be judged by a specially selected expert panel of renowned ornithologists, photographers and artists. The criteria used to determine the winning entries will be: image quality, rarity and aesthetics.
