I urge you to check out The Nature Conservancy’s first ever photo competition. For those nature photographers out there, this is a cool (and free) contest. For everyone, it’s simply an amazing collection of photos of natural areas all over the globe.
“The Conservancy invites you to enter your stunning nature images in our first-ever digital photography competition.
We’re looking for beautiful nature photography representing the diversity of life on Earth. Your own original digital images of our lands, waters, plants, animals and people in nature are all eligible for the competition.
How to Enter
Images can be submitted to one of two categories: Best Nature Photo or Best Photo from a Conservancy Preserve.
To enter one or more images, upload your photo(s) to the Conservancy’s free public group on Flickrâ„¢ and tag them for the appropriate category.”
I’m not sure if the Conservancy was anticipating such a response. There’s already more than 8,000 photos from 1,500 members. That’s going to be a heck of a judging chore. Nonetheless, I think it’s a great idea and an encouraging example of a major conservation organization adopting “social web” ideas to resounding success.
The contest is open until Dec. 31.
