It’s that time of year to submit photos for Alaska Wildlife Alliance’s annual photography contest!
Thirteen winning photos will be featured in our 2022 Wildlife Calendar. Each month features wildlife from Alaska with a description of the photographer and the scene. The contest begins on August 16th and ends on October 17th, 2021. From August 16th through October 3rd, there will be open submissions where Alaska Wildlife Alliance’s (AWA’s) staff will vote on their top favorite photos considering photo quality, creativity, diversity of wildlife, and humor. The public will then vote for the winners via AWA’s Facebook page by October 17th!
August 16th- October 3rd: Photograph submissions from competitors take place.
October 4th- October 17th: The top photographs get voted upon via AWA’s Facebook page. Share with your followers!
October 18th: Winners are announced via social media and email.
Winners get two free calendars and the opportunity to share their wonderful photographs with the world! AWA uses the calendar sales to raise money for our work protecting Alaska’s wildlife and to thank our members. You will be a part of ensuring Alaska’s wildlife continues to run wild.
We like to see diversity of wildlife in your photo submissions. Bear and moose photographs are quite popular, so we encourage submitting photos that reflect the amazing diversity of wildlife that is within the state of Alaska!
To submit your photos, here are some rules and guidelines:
Photographs must feature wildlife photographed in Alaska.
Photographs must be taken by yourself or of someone close to you with permission- no Google or copywrite images!
Photographs must be a high resolution and in a landscape style (photographs will be oriented in a landscape for the calendar and will be printed for a large calendar size, so high-quality images are preferred).
Include your name and a brief description or story of your photo and where it was taken (no more than 2-3 sentences).
AWA will receive usage rights for winning photographs. These photographs will be considered donations and will be used for future AWA promotional purposes. Photographer credit will be given during use.
We are excited to see your photos! Please email submissions with descriptions to our Outreach Coordinator, Kelsey, by October 3rd. Winners will be announced on social media (Facebook and Instagram, @alaskawildlifealliance) by October 18th.
Thank you, and good luck!
