'Oxfordshire Wildlife Exposed' Photo Competition
Science Oxford are very excited to be hosting the Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition in November and December 2008, and to celebrate we are launching 'Oxfordshire Wildlife Exposed', a competition to find Oxfordshire's top wildlife photographers. To highlight the stunning and diverse selection of plants, animals, landscapes and environments that the county has to offer, we want you to send us the best pictures you have of wildlife in Oxfordshire.The winning photos will be shortlisted and judged by a panel of experts, including CEO of Science Oxford, Dr Ian Griffin, and local wildlife photographer, Craig Churchill. We're offering a cash prize of £150 for the best photo, and two second prizes of £75 each - one for under 16s, and one for people aged 16 and over. Additionally, the shortlisted entries will be put on public display at Science Oxford during the Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition.
You can enter up to three photos, which must be of wildlife (i.e. no domesticated animals), and must have been taken in Oxfordshire. Entries should be sent to photo@scienceoxford.com by 30th September 2008. Photos must be digital, and the entry should include your name, where the photo was taken, and whether you are in the under 16s or the over 16s category. Please note that we can receive e-mails up to 5MB in size.
