2012 Photo Competition: Ecology in Action
'ECOLOGY IN ACTION' PHOTO COMPETITION IS BACK IN 2012!
The very popular "Ecology in Action" Photographic Competition is back in 2012 with new themes and an additional category aimed at celebrating images of the unique Australian landscape! The competition aims to create a visual record of ecologists and their work and engage members in celebrating themselves, the work they do, and their colleagues / students / supervisors, as well as the wonderful Australian environment in which we work.
This year entries can be uploaded directly via the webpage - just click on the link below to get to the online entry form.
A panel of judges will determine the main prize winners, but ESA members will also be invited to vote for their favourite images under the ‘People’s Choice’ award. All entries will be available via ESA’s Facebook page.
Entry is free and you do not have to be a member to participate.
Entries are invited under three categories:
1. "Out Standing in the Field" - Ecologists in Action.
Interesting portraits of ecologists in the lab, office, lecture theatre, policy arena or field. Preference will be given to images that provide a good portrait of an ecologist, and also convey what the person works on, or issues pertinent to their field.
