2022 Tampa Audubon Photography Contest

By Jonathan Hoiles, Photo Club Leader

The Tampa Audubon Society is thrilled to announce the 2022 Tampa Audubon Photography Contest. The competition will begin accepting submissions in November through the contest’s deadline of Dec. 31, 2022.

Past winning photographs have celebrated the breathtaking beauty and critical importance of Florida’s birds and ecosystems.

This year, the contest has three categories: Birds, Native Plants, and General Wildlife and Nature Photography. To increase knowledge and appreciation of native Florida birds, plants, landscapes, and other wildlife, submissions are limited to native Florida species.

The 2022 contest has several exciting changes for entrants. This year, the photo contest is open to the public to encourage maximum participation. A modest entry fee is required for each photo submission to fund prizes for the winners. Winning photographs will be selected by an expert panel of photographers and naturalists.

Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to enter.  All winners will be announced in January.
