Get snapping at Slimbridge

Enter by 7 September – If you fancy yourself as a bit of a David Bailey, or even a David Attenborough, head to Slimbridge Wetland Centre to take part in the WWT Nikon national photography competition 2009.

If you’re planning a trip to Slimbridge Wetland Centre don’t forget to pack your camera as the WWT Nikon national photography competition gets under way once again in 2009, with Nikon prizes worth over £5,000 and the chance to see your photo published in WWT’s Waterlife magazine up for grabs.

The competition aims to capture the variety of WWT’s nine centres, including Slimbridge in Gloucestershire, across three categories: WWT Nikon Photo of the Year; WWT Nikon Junior Photo of the Year and WWT Nikon Digiscoping Photo of the Year.

The judging panel, which includes wildlife photographer Chris Packham and editor of Bird Watching, Kevin Wilmot, is looking for variety, innovation and imagination, as well as technical accomplishment.

The main rule of the competition is that all photos submitted must have been taken at one of the nine WWT centres in the UK. For full terms and conditions visit wwt.org.uk. Closing date for entries is Monday 7 September 2009.
