In its 49th year, the venerated “Wildlife Photographer of the Year” competition is accepting entries from today (January 7) until February 25th. Competition will be stiff, with the number of entries expected to be near 50,000, but who knows? You can enter in one of 18 categories, including three for photographers under age 17.
Even if you don’t win, your photo could be selected as a finalist and become a part of the (UK) Natural History Museum‘s traveling exhibition, which means your photos could be seen and admired by as many as 3 million people.
To get an idea of the competition you might face, you can browse last year’s top entries at the NHM. To find out more about how to enter, visit the competition website.
