Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition with Mobile Category – Deadline Approaching
As avid followers of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition for more years than we care to remember we were delighted to learn last year that the organisers have added a mobile category for smartphone photographers aged 17 and under, called WILD-I, hopefully this will be rolled out within the adult category too at a later stage, we mentioned it here. Since then, the organisers of the competition reached out to Nettie Edwards and Dan Burkholder to provide inspiration to new smartphone photographers and you can read the interview here.
The Competition is now in its 50th year but there are only 12 more days to get your entries in. The closing date for entries is 27th February 2014.
