Do you have favorite photos & videos of wildlife, landscapes, and outdoor adventures made in any of the 62 designated U.S. National Parks? Calling all photographers at all levels of expertise!
The editors of Nature’s Best Photography magazine invite photographers at all levels of experience to enter the NATURE’S BEST NATIONAL PARKS PHOTO CONTEST. Whether you are based in the U.S. or any country around the world—if you have traveled to a U.S. National Park and have favorite images and videos to share, please join us in assembling a public record of this diverse ecosystem.
You are invited to enter your best photos and videos in the 2020 Nature’s Best National Parks Contest! We’re offering cash prizes and awards!
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.
