Watchable Wildlife Photo Contest Changes
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s Watchable Wildlife Photo Contest is getting a facelift.
The department will no longer produce a Watchable Wildlife promotional poster, but instead feature more participant photographs in North Dakota OUTDOORS.
The contest has categories for nongame and game species, as well as plants/insects. An overall winning photograph will be chosen, with the number of place winners in each category determined by the number of qualified entries.
Contest entries are limited to 5x7-inch or larger color prints, or digital files submitted on disk or via e-mail. Contestants are limited to no more than five entries. Photos must have been taken in North Dakota. Submission deadline is Sept. 30.
By submitting an entry, photographers grant permission to the Game and Fish Department to publish winning photographs in North Dakota OUTDOORS magazine, and as part of the magazine on the department’s website, gf.nd.gov.
Prints or photo disks should be sent to Watchable Wildlife Photo Contest, C/O Patrick T. Isakson, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, 100 N. Bismarck Expressway, Bismarck, N.D. 58501-5095.
Send e-mailed digital photos to ndgf@nd.gov, with “Photo Contest” noted in the subject line. Digital submissions can be either original digital photographs, or scans made from prints or slides/transparencies. Photographers will need to supply the original image if needed for publication.
Prints will be returned if requested following judging. Photo disks will not be returned. All entries must be accompanied by the photographer’s name, address, phone number and e-mail address if available. Other information such as photo site location and month taken are also useful.
Although care will be taken with submitted material, the Game and Fish Department assumes no financial responsibility for lost or damaged materials.
