Contest Rules and Description:
The wild world is full of energy, instinct, beauty, and stories waiting to be told.
In Wild Spirits: Wildlife Photography Contest, we invite photographers to capture the raw essence of wildlife — from powerful predators and graceful giants to delicate small creatures and everything in between.
We want to see the spirit that lives within animals: their emotion, their strength, their vulnerability, and their connection to the natural world. Whether it’s a dramatic moment of action, a quiet portrait in soft light, an intimate interaction, or a scene revealing unique species behavior, this contest celebrates wildlife in all its diversity.
From forests and mountains to oceans, grasslands, jungles, and even your own local ecosystems, every environment offers a story. Show us wildlife as you see it — wild, free, and alive.
Color or black & white, close-up or environmental, documentary or fine art — all styles are welcome, as long as your image honors the beauty and authenticity of wildlife, photographed ethically and respectfully.
What We’re Looking For
Wildlife spirit — expressive, emotional, or powerful moments that capture the essence of an animal
Authentic behavior — hunting, playing, resting, interacting, or simply existing in the natural world
Diverse species — large mammals, birds, reptiles, marine life, insects, and more
Strong composition — clean framing, thoughtful perspective, and compelling visual storytelling
Any environment — forests, deserts, oceans, jungles, mountains, or local habitats
