If you've got a camera trap set up in your yard to capture the wildlife that wanders in (turkeys, feral cats, snakes), there's a contest for you!
The Wildlife Conservation society is asking for submissions from "all amateur or professional field biologists" that showcase images of wildlife captured by camera traps. Details:
Camera traps - sometimes called trail or game cameras - take remote images of wildlife through a tripping mechanism. They are used by biologists, scientists, and outdoor enthusiasts to monitor local wildlife populations.
For this assignment, WCS has partnered with Nature Up North, a project of St. Lawrence University, and the St. Lawrence County Chamber to celebrate this tool.
The Wild View editorial team will review and select submissions based on appeal, composition, originality, and technical quality. A group of chosen shots for this assignment will be posted on Wild View. The team can consider two submissions per contributor.
The Wild View editorial team will select submissions "based on appeal, composition, originality, and technical quality"—and obviously appeal means the circle of life, like the dope photographs of the vultures feasting on a giraffe carcass.
The winner will receive a Patagonia Black Hole Backpack plus bragging rights. You can submit entries here.
