The Scottish Nature Photography Awards Photographic Competition was launched in April 2010 to provide a platform to celebrate Scotland as a key destination for nature photographers and to acknowledge the excellence of the photographic work that is undertaken here through the award of the title of “Scottish Nature Photographer of the Year”. Now in its third year, the competition invites entries of images taken in Scotland by professional, semi-professional or amateur photographers.
Our 2012 competition will again seek to find the “Scottish Nature Photographer of the Year” through the main categories of Scottish Wildlife, Scottish Landscape, Scottish Botanical, Natural Abstract, Environmental categories.
Images can be of native, resident or migrant wild species. Wildlife subjects photographed in a studio setting or a captive environment are not eligible
