With $1,600 in prize money and the entry deadline approaching, there is still time to submit your photos — or vote for favorites — in the Audubon Community Nature Center 2023 Nature Photography Contest. Pictured is a previous Youth finalist, “Orange Beauty” by Shaylee Moreno of Boxford, Mass.

The deadline is approaching for the Audubon Community Nature Center 2023 Nature Photography Contest.

Submissions are due by July 2.

A panel of judges will choose the Youth and Adult winners in the categories of Animals, Plants and Landscapes. In addition to their $200 cash prizes, all winners will have their photographs printed and exhibited in the Nature Center. Eighteen finalists will also be named, three in each category.

Two additional $200 cash prizes are awarded for the Adult and Youth photos receiving the most Community Choice votes online. A photo could receive both the Community Choice and a judged award. Social media buttons are posted beside your images so you can encourage friends and family to vote for your photos.

All winning and finalist photographs will be displayed on the contest website and announced in a widely distributed news release.

Adult is age 19 or older or out of high school at the end of the contest. Youth is ages 8 to 18, or still in high school at the end of the contest.

Categories are:

Wildlife: Any animal is acceptable, including birds, mammals, fish, snails, insects, and more. Photos of animals in captivity, such as pets, zoos, or rehab animals are not accepted.

Landscapes: Submit your best view, whether it is of mountains, oceans, lakes, rivers, forests or any other natural view.

Plants: Submit your most beautiful plant photos, whether it is of seeds, leaves, flowers, or whole plants.
