Incredible Calgary Animal Photographs

Take a look at last year’s winners of the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society’s Eye for the Wild photography contest and enter your photograph to win this year.

According to the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society, more than 400 animal species call Calgary home. Those are animals living in native habitats like parks, yards and other city property. CWRS rescues and rehabilitates those animals that are injured or orphaned and it provides outreach and education.

CWRS is hosting its second annual fundraising photo contest to capture images of the creatures living around us. Amateur photographers (that’s anyone who earns less than 25 percent of their income from selling photography) can submit their photos online. Photos should be of native Southern Alberta animals in their natural habitat. Zoo photos don’t count and there shouldn’t be any human interaction with the animals. They’ll be judged by a panel of pro photographers and there are prizes. The winning photographs will be shown on AvenueCalgary.com, in the CWRS 2020 calendar and displayed at CWRS events.

Submit your photos online on CWRS website between February 1 to March 31. Once you upload your image, you will be redirected to Canada Helps to pay a $10 entry fee, which will be used to support rehabilitative and educational services.
