If you're an amateur photographer with an eye for wildlife, don't miss out on your chance to see your best photo featured in the BC SPCA's fifth annual Wildlife-In-Focus Photography Contest.
The annual contest encourages participants to explore green spaces, roadsides, beaches and even backyards to find striking images that represent the resiliency of local wildlife living at the interface with humans. Wildlife includes free-living birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects but not exotic, feral or domestic animals, or wildlife in zoos or rehabilitation facilities.
Digital photos are being accepted until Sept. 30 in the contest, which raises funds for the society's Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC) on southern Vancouver Island, where more than 2,500 orphaned and injured wild animals are cared for every year.
Prizes in the contest will be awarded for the top three photos in each of the two categories: wild settings and backyard habitats.
The contest is open to all people age 14 years and older who live in B.C. You can learn more about this year's contest and see winners from past contests at spca.bc.ca/wildlife-in-focus.
