Conservation Foundation’s Summer Photo Contest Returns

April 25, 2023 by Post

2023 Jury Selected Best in Show

OSPREY, FL (April 25, 2023) Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast is delighted to announce the return of their virtual Summer Photo Contest. Entering its fourth year, this annual event invites photographers of all ages and experience levels to share their original work showcasing the natural beauty of the Sunshine State. As in years past, the exhibition will be entirely virtual with website and Facebook displays.

Works submitted for this online juried exhibition must have been taken in Florida within the past year and fall into one of the following four categories:

• The Big Picture: It’s a big beautiful world we’re living in! Landscapes or waterscapes, this category is for those majestic views and sweeping vistas that showcase Mother Nature in all her glory.
• The Art of Nature: A celebration of abstract expressions in nature and science, this category is for close-ups, angles, patterns, motion, or other unique perspectives of the natural world.
• Fabulously Florida: What makes Florida Florida to you? Whether it’s plants, animals, or people – this category highlights the Sunshine State and those who call this special place home.
• Winged Life: Birds, butterflies, and bees, oh my! This category is dedicated to the winged creatures and feathered friends we all love to photograph – in flight, perched, or in action!

There is also a Youth Perspective category specifically for photographers aged 15 and under. Youth Perspective submissions must still fall into one of the four categories above.

Up to three photographs may be submitted per person and must be received via email no later than midnight on May 31. Jurors will review all submissions and select ten per category for display in online galleries on the Conservation Foundation website and Conservation Foundation Facebook page. The 2023 jury includes noted photographer, Kerri Gagne Deatherage; fine artist, Mary Louise O’Connell; and award-winning commercial photographer, Robert Nishihira.

The virtual competition will award prizes to category winners as selected by the jury as well as People’s Choice winners determined by popular vote on Facebook. For details, entry rules, and submission forms visit conservationfoundation.com/summerphoto.
