Photo Competition, you really should enter!
We have received some really great photographs recently from visitors and WWT members. Some of these shots would have almost certainly been short listed in our current photography competition had they been entered! For tips on how to take good wetland wildlife images click here
This year's competition takes place over 12 months with four seasonal heats. During each season, we'll be looking for the best photos that represent that season. At the end of each heat winners representing each of WWT's nine wetland centres will be chosen from each category.
When the competition closes on 31 August 2012 all regional heat winners will go through to the grand national final to be held in autumn 2012, and our Portfolio Photographer will be chosen and awarded the grand prize of a trip to Antarctica.
