Winners from Animals in the Wild 2019

Animals in the Wild is a much-loved celebration of nature in the wild, unthreatened, and unharmed by humans. We want to see your pictures of quokkas, wallabies, cockatoos, koalas and other beautiful Australian wildlife.            

The competition is part of the Greens campaign against recreational hunting. In previous years it was also a response to the “Huntfest” arms fair which has finally been cancelled following years of local and international pressure. Animals in the Wild encourages you to shoot with a camera, not a gun.

The exhibition runs from 10am to 4pm on the 8th and 9th of June at Gallery Bodalla, 66A Princes Highway, Bodalla. On Saturday morning David Shoebridge opens the exhibit and announces the winner. All welcome and invited!

The prize of a $100 gift voucher will be awarded to the best picture in each of the following categories:

a. The image that most evokes a connection with an animal in the wild in Australia
b. The most beautiful image of a bird in the wild in Australia
c. The image that best shows the beauty and diversity of our precious native forests
d. The image that conveys the threats facing native animals in Australia, including the reality of habitat destruction from logging and land clearing, hunting, and guns and killing culture in Australia
e. The most beautiful image of an animal in the wild photographed by a photographer aged 16 years or under.
