At The Zoo
Julie Larsen ©WCS Assignment Open From
Jul 1 - Oct 1, 2025
Grab your camera and spend some quality time with your favorite animal at the zoo or aquarium near you.
Create a collection of portraits, details, and wide views of that species, and share your most memorable moments (right, snowy owl) in a series of up to six images with us.
Our editorial team will choose the best submissions based on appeal, composition, originality, and technical quality. A selected group of shots for this assignment will be posted on this page, and one will be featured.
We can consider a maximum of six photos per contributor.
For this assignment, we are offering an incentive. The author of the featured photo chosen by our editorial team will receive a Patagonia Black Hole Pack 25L, perfect for transporting your gear to the office, the trail, or a weekend at the beach. See the official Contest Rules for more information.
