General Description

  • This is a single class PDI competition 
  • The competition has the set subject of “UK Wildlife”
  • Entry is via submission to the PhotoEntry website
  • Images must be submitted as a 1600×1200 JPG file, in sRGB IEC61966-2.1 format
  • All entries must be uploaded by 23:59 on the Saturday 9 days before the competition date
  • Each image must have a title entered when uploading
    • Titles can be up to 50 characters in length
  • Images are restricted to UK animals & birds, butterflies, fish  which are indigenous, or migratory transients – or are now living here after being introduced, i.e.:
    • Grey squirrel
    • Mink
    • Etcetera
  • No domestic pets or farmyard animals 
  • No flora (trees, plants, fungi) 
  • Can be captive – i.e. In wildlife centres, conservancies, and zoo’s
    • But no herds of Wildebeests wandering across the African Veld shot from the hotel room in Torquay!
  • Reasoning behind these requirements:
    • ‘We have a dedicated Wildlife Trophy at a time when it is important that wildlife indigenous to this country is protected and highlighted, especially the work of these conservancy trusts’
    • ‘To get members to think about the subject of wildlife and promote the visit to the wild places of Dinton Pastures, or the Hawk Conservancy, or Richmond Park to shoot images of these animals instead of sitting in their conservatories taking pictures of Snuggles the cat, or Bonzo the overweight Labrador’
