Animal Antics
Assignment & Contest Open From
Mar 11 - Mar 31, 2017
A yawn, a stretch, a leap, or asleep – have you taken a photo of wildlife during a surprising or humorous moment?
Great shots of animal behaviors and interactions make us smile. They are a true joy of photography (at right, giraffe mother and calf.)
Show us your fun animal photos.
Our editorial team will choose the best submissions based on appeal, composition, originality, and technical quality. A group of chosen shots for this assignment will be posted on this page and one will be featured.
We can consider a maximum of four submissions per contributor.
NOTE: For this assignment, we’re offering an incentive. The author of the featured photo chosen by our editorial team will receive a Patagonia Black Hole Cinch Pack Backpack, perfect for transporting your gear to the office, the crag, or the beach. See the official Contest Rules.
