The Nature Conservancy (TNC) Australia’s Nature Photo Contest is back, with more than $14,000 worth of prizes up for grabs for photography and nature lovers from across Oceania.
Oceania is an extraordinary region, with many of its species found nowhere else on Earth. We’re on the lookout for shots that help capture the vibrance and vulnerability of its incredible wildlife, landscapes and ecosystems.
Whether you’re an amateur, a budding enthusiast or a total pro, all photographers have an important role to play in showcasing the power and peril of the natural world, and allowing us to reflect on the role we all have to play in safeguarding its future.
With six exciting categories to enter, you’ll be in with a shot no matter your preferred style or subject matter.
Entry is free and open to all residents from Australia, New Zealand, the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.
Image: Between the Stars I photographed this moment underwater. I was able to do it by putting my camera in an underwater case, attaching it to a metal weight and placing it all under the eggs. I waited nearby for it to be dark, and when the newt appeared, I lit it with an LED lamp. I started the camera with a home-made wired remote release. It turned out 1-2 sharp pictures. © Litauszki Tibor/TNC Photo Contest 2023
