Orokonui Ecosanctuary Visit & Photography Competition



Please find attached a downloadable copy of the notice coming home today about our trip the Orokonui Ecosanctuary. We are using this visit as an opportunity to take some wildlife photos for the up coming "2010 Otago Wildlife Photography Competition" run by the Otago Museum.

Otago Wildlife Photography Competition 2010

It’s that time of the year again - when the search begins to find Otago’s best amateur wildlife photographer!

Now in its eleventh year, the Otago Wildlife Photography Competition issues a challenge to Otago residents to work their magic with the camera, capturing either a plant, an animal or an example of human impact on the natural environment.

Presented in partnership with NHNZ and supported by Jonathon’s Photo Warehouse, the Otago Wildlife Photography Competition has grown to become an important part of the local photography calendar. The competition typically attracts around 1,000 entries, and with a $1500 worth of photographic accessories prize pack from Jonathan’s Photo Warehouse up for grabs, 2010 is expected to be another bumper year.

All amateur photographers living in Otago who have taken a great shot of a plant, an animal, or an example of human impact on the natural environment since 1 January 2009 are invited to enter. The competition is divided into two age categories – 14 years and under and 15 years and over, with category prizes also on offer.

Entrants have until 5pm on Monday 17 May to submit their best photos. The winners will be announced at a prize-giving ceremony on Wednesday 2 June, with the exhibition opening in the Nature Galleries the following day.
