The RSPCA is calling on young photographers in Wales to enter its photo competition.<\/p>\n
The competition aims to showcase their talent and love for animals and nature.<\/p>\n
The RSPCA Young Photographer Awards opened for entries on May 6, and will close on August 13.<\/p>\n
Last year, more than 4,000 children and young people with a passion for photography, animals, and nature entered the competition.<\/p>\n
Budding photographers aged 18 years and under are being asked to submit their photos capturing the animal kingdom on a camera or mobile device.<\/p>\n
Ellie Rothnie, award-winning photographer and photographic guide, who will be part of the judging panel this year, said: “The RSPCA\u2019s Young Photographer Awards is the ultimate celebration of young creative talent.<\/p>\n
“Every year, the entries are astounding, and indeed many winners from this competition have become immensely successful professional photographers.<\/p>\n
“I am truly honoured to be a judge again, I can\u2019t wait to see this year\u2019s entries.”<\/p>\n
This year, the charity has launched a new category aimed at telling the story of an individual animal or commenting on the wider natural world.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Documenting Animals\u2019 category will consist of three photos which will document real stories, events, and animals and aims to inspire, educate, and make change for animals.<\/p>\n
Entrants will need to write 120 words to illustrate the series.<\/p>\n
Andrew Forsyth, RSPCA photographer and competition judge, said: “We\u2019re looking for a positive story that leaves a lasting impression.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s an opportunity to use your imagination and natural curiosity and we\u2019re excited to see what our budding young photographers in Wales come up with.”<\/p>\n
Winners in each category will be awarded trophies and a selection of prizes at a ceremony at the Tower of London in December.<\/p>\n
