第22届野生动物摄影大赛“野生鸟类”

The 22nd edition of the Wildlife Photo Contest WILD BIRDS is an international photography competition organized by the Dirección General de Turismo de Extremadura (Extremadura Tourist Board) as part of the Extremadura Birdwatching Fair (FIO). The contest is open to amateur and professional photographers of all ages and nationalities; participants under 18 may only enter the Young Photographers category. Photographers may submit up to 20 images (15 for the Young Photographers category) in four main categories – Bird Portraits, Birds in Their Environment, Birds in Action, and Artistic Vision of Birds – plus a dedicated Young Photographers category. Images may be taken anywhere in the world, must be unpublished, and cannot have won awards elsewhere. Submission is free and takes place online from 29 October to 11 December 2026 (23:59 CET). The jury will award an overall winner (€2 000), category winners (€1 000 each), a photographic‑equipment prize (€800) for the Young Photographers category, and a special “Extremadura Photographer” prize (€900). Winners of the main categories receive accommodation for the awards ceremony. Selected images will be exhibited during the FIO 2027 event in Parque Nacional de Monfragüe, Spain. The competition also includes ethical guidelines, technical specifications, and a requirement that images be original and not generated by AI.
