Submissions are reviewed by our Judging Panel of experts in photography, wildlife, conservation, and film. Winners are selected for overall appeal, originality, conformity to rules, and technical quality.

We are seeking dramatic portraits, animal behavior, humorous displays, intimate interactions, young animals at play, macro closeups, sweeping landscapes, outdoor adventures, and other creative approaches to the art of nature photography to convey the beauty and diversity of nature within the boundaries of the 62 U.S. National Parks.
