British Wildlife Photography Awards Call For Entries

A highly acclaimed and unique wildlife photography competition that's now in its fourth year is now accepting entries.

The British Wildlife Photography Awards 2012 has an overall prize fund of up to £20,000 and winners as well as commended entrants will have their work showcased in a national touring exhibition and book.

With twelve separate categories the subject matter covers everything from marine life and animal behaviour to creepy crawlies and urban wildlife.

There's a Young People's Award with two categories: under 12 and 12-18 and a new award for HD video which will be awarded to the most inspirational and dynamic film, which clearly illustrates the unique power of moving images as a medium for capturing British Wildlife. Wild Woods is another new category and the judges will be looking for a winning image that celebrates the beauty and importance of British woodland. 

The Awards ceremony and launch of the travelling exhibition will take place at the prestigious Mall Galleries, in London.

The closing date for the competition is 12 May 2012. Entrants will be able to submit entries on-line or via post.
