Applications call for 1st Annual Pangolin Photo Challenge. Pangolin Photo Safaris is challenging you to get out and practice your wildlife photography skills. As wildlife photographers, we shouldn’t just wait until we go on a safari…we should be photographing nature wherever we are. This is your opportunity to join in the fun, improve your photography and support the conservation initiative at the same time.

Prizes

• Moreover, the total photo safari prize fund for 2021 is $40,000.
• There will be plenty of prizes up for grabs for the best images in each challenge, an overall portfolio prize, a people’s vote as well as a lucky draw prize, which you can win a safari, just for entering an image.

Categories

This Annual Pangolin Photo Challenge 2021 is divided into four challenges

• Birds of the World
• Black and White
• Mammal Behavior
• Creative Captures.

One image will be allowed per entrant per challenge. You may enter the same image in different challenges but this will count against you if you are hoping to compete in the Grande Portfolio prize.

Eligibility

The competition is open to all amateur AND professional photographers aged 18 or over from any country in the world with the following two exceptions.

• Employees of Pangolin Photo Safaris and their immediate relatives/household.
• Also, all Photo Safari Operators and Guides make use of Pangolin Photo Safaris properties and services.

The submitted image must have been taken in 2021. The metadata of the file will be inspected to ensure qualification. The capture date will be published on the website along with the image. Also, all images should be a faithful representation of the original scene in the natural world. Composite images will not be allowed. Post-production adjustments can be used but excessive use will count against the image’s overall standing with the judges.
