The 2021 National Wildlife Photo Contest is now closed.
The National Wildlife® Photo Contest, which began five decades ago, celebrates the power of photography to advance conservation and connect both photographers and viewers with wildlife and the outdoors. The most compelling nature images can help protect wildlife in profound ways.
Every person who entered not only honored their own work, but also helped support the conservation mission of the National Wildlife Federation, which is dedicated to saving wildlife species and their habitats. Photographers retain rights to their work. Those who chose to donate some of their images share joint ownership with NWF, and further help us advance our conservation mission. Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's contest. We sincerely appreciate your contribution and we’re glad you’re a part of this growing family of talented, dedicated people!
A selection of the winning photographs and honorable mentions from the 2021 contest will be published in the December 2021–January 2022 issue of National Wildlife magazine. All winning images and honorable mentions will also be published on the National Wildlife Federation’s website. NWF anticipates notifying winners by early October 2021.
Grand Prize: One winner receives the Nature’s Witness award, a cash prize of $5000 and a Tamron SP 150-600mm Di VC USD G2 Lens ($1399 value)
Portfolio Prize: One winner receives a cash prize of $750
First Place: One winner for each of the eight subject categories receives a cash prize of $500
Second Place: One winner for each of the eight subject categories receives a cash prize of $250

With special thanks to Tamron, proud supporter of the 2021 National Wildlife Photo Contest.
