Reflections of Nature Photo Contest

Calling All Shutterbugs!

Are you lucky enough to see wildlife in your neck of the woods? What wildlife encounters [en/action/your-voice/stories] have you been able to capture with a click of your camera? Now’s your chance to show us your stuff! Sending a photo is one of many ways to give to CWF that will help us in our mission to spread awareness and educate Canadians about native wildlife and wild spaces.

As Canadians, we’re lucky to share our vast homeland with such a large and diverse range of wildlife. From ladybugs to polar bears, Canada provides habitat for all.

Send us your photos

Selected photographs will be featured on the Canadian Wildlife Federation's website and/or other CWF publications. Monthly winners will receive a signed print by Canadian artist Robert Bateman [en/learn/contests/bateman] and runners-up will receive a CWF prize pack. A grand prize (to be determined) will be awarded early 2008. Check out the contest details

Native Plants and Flowers — This includes any and all flora, wildflowers, gardens, trees, shrubs and general nature photos. Species native to Canada please.
