Enter the 2022 Refuge Photo Contest and share your special moments captured at the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge!

All amateur photographers are invited to submit up to a total of five digital photos spanning the categories below. All photos must be taken within the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge boundaries. 

Categories include:

• • • Raptors
    • Birds Other than Raptors
    • Pollinators, Other Insects and Spiders
    • Any Other Wildlife
    • Scenics & Natural Design
    • Plants & Fungi
    • Youth – any subject, age 16 or younger

Putting the well-being of wildlife first must be every photographer’s aim. The Friends strongly support the North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA) Principles of Ethical Field Practice. This means always putting the welfare of the subject before yourself or the photograph.

Deadline for submissions is July 4, 2022. Please read all contest rules carefully on the submission form available under the photo contest menu on the Friends website.

Winning entries will be announced at a special presentation event to be held in the fall of 2022.
