WWT Photography Competition autumn heat closes and winter heat begins!

The autumn heat of the 2010/11 WWT Photography Competition closed on 30 November, making way for the start of the winter heat.

Almost 2,500 pictures were entered across five categories, which included Wetland Wildlife, World Wetlands and Young Photographer of the Year. And 12,800 votes were cast by the public to determine the People's Choice category winner.

The judging will now begin and our selected regional winners will be handed a fabulous wildlife photography workshop held at their local WWT centre, courtesy of Wild Arena.

They'll also go through to the competition final, taking place once the final summer seasonal heat ends in 2012, and be in with a chance of winning top prizes including a seven day activity holiday for two to Sooma National Park in Estonia, a five night eco-tourism break for two people to New York State and a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Antarctica.

Below is a selection of the entries we've had for the autumn heat of the competition. You can view these and all of the rest on the website.
