Attention Sierra Nevada Wildlife Lovers!
You are invited to submit your photos of California wildlife you've seen at the Sierra Nevada California Watchable Wildlife sites for the 2017 California Wildlife Photo of the Year contest. There are five months to submit your images, and the winning images will be featured in Outdoor California.
Your images will be judged by a panel of three judges, based on the following criteria:
- Technical Excellence (focus, exposure, resolution)
- Composition
- Difficulty in getting the shot
- Overall impact and storytelling aspects of the image
The California Watchable Wildlife Project celebrates the state's wildlife and diverse habitats by acknowledging and elevating the value of wildlife viewing to benefit individuals, families, communities, and industries while fostering awareness and support for conservation and protection of wildlife and habitats.
So download your free Sierra Nevada Geotourism App, grab your camera, and head out to one of these Sierra Nevada California Watchable Wildlife Sites to show us why you love the Sierra!
