HOW IT WORKS
-
Take a great picture of any natural subject in an urban setting, from a bug on the window to a deer on the road or anything else you're lucky enough to find!
-
Sign-Up to the FTW Urban Photo Competition and Submit your photo.
-
From your submissions, Free The Wild will create a shortlist featuring the semifinalist photographs and post these images in a special album on Facebook.
-
The Competition is split between two categories: Adult Competitors and Under 15 Competitors.
-
Our supporters and the public cast votes on the semifinalist photos by way of "likes". The 12 most popular images and 3 from the Under 15s Category move into the Finals.
-
The Final 15 images will then be scrutinized by Five Free The Wild Judges:
-
John Simpson, BBC World Affairs Editor
-
Jamie MacArthur, Professional Wildlife Photographer
-
Gina Nelthorpe-Cowne, Co-Founder Free the Wild and Wildlife Photographer
-
Alison Miles, Communications Professional and Wildlife Enthusiast
-
Sagan Cowne, FTW Trustee, amateur wildlife photographer
-
-
The winning photographs, as voted by the FTW Judges, will go on to win a special prize!
