Or the trees. Or the flowers. Just be sure we get your entries for the 2018 Refuge Photo Contest in by June 30. Entering is easy. Just click over to the Photo Contest page and send us your favorite Great Swamp photos. This year there are more categories, with more ways to be a winner. But no matter what, by entering the contest, you are contributing to a photographic record of Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. Entries are often used by Friends of the Great Swamp NWR or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on website and Facebook pages, exhibits, newsletters and flyers. With credit, of course, to the photographer.
The contest is open to all amateur photographers, and you can submit up to five photographs in any combination of categories. Photographs must be taken within the boundaries of the Refuge during the past two years. There are a total of seven categories, including one for youths age 16 and under.
- Raptors
- Birds other than Raptors
- Pollinators, and other insects
- Any other wildlife
- Plants and fungi
- Landscapes
- Youth
Winners will be announced at the Fall Festival in September, and winning entries will be displayed in the Photo Contest Gallery on our website.
