Scottish Seabird Centre's Nature Photography Exhibition 
The Scottish Seabird Centre is pleased to announce that the 2009 Nature Photography Competition will be launched later this year. With categories including Scottish Wildlife, Land and Sea and Creative Visions of Nature the competition is a great opportunity for amateur photographers to showcase their work and be in with a chance to win some top prizes. All those selected by our guest judges will be displayed in The Nature Photography 2009 Exhibition at the Scottish Seabird Centre later in the year.
To log your interest or register for the launch update please contact info@seabird.org
The 2008 winning photographs in this prestigious competition and exhibition, selected by our panel of judges, are displayed in our Winners' Gallery. The annual competition features five categories; Scottish Wildlife, World Wildlife, Landscape, Creative Visions of Nature and a new category Environmental Impact. In "X-Factor" style, visitors to the exhibition at the Seabird Centre, have the opportunity to vote for their favourites pictures and this counts towards the final outcome, when the winners are announced at a ceremony each year each February. If you would like information about taking part in the competition this year, please email us at info@seabird.org.
Tom Brock OBE, Chief Executive of the Scottish Seabird Centre comments, “The Scottish Seabird Centre is a charity which is dedicated to inspiring people to get closer to, and care more for, wildlife and the natural environment. This competition, therefore, is a natural progression for us, encouraging people to get close to nature through the eye of their own camera lens.” The judges' remit is to look for an artistic and innovative approach, not just a rare wildlife spectacle that only a fortunate few could ever experience! The image chosen to symbolise the competition is a simple dandelion puff silhouetted against the sun, by Laurie Campbell, (pictured)."
