Cheyenne - Wyoming Wildlife magazine invites wildlife photographers to enter the 2016 photo contest. The grand-prize winner will receive $300, and his or her photo will be printed in the February 2017 issue of Wyoming Wildlife along with winners in each category.  

“Wyoming is full of fantastic photo opportunities, and we’re excited to feature some of these shots in our magazine,” said Justin Joiner, Game and Fish’s Wyoming Wildlife creative director.

Photos must have been taken in Wyoming and cannot have been previously submitted to (or taken on assignment for) Wyoming Wildlife. Employees of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Wyoming Game and Fish Commissioners and their immediate families are ineligible.

Eligible contestants can submit photographs in the following categories:

  • recreation (people enjoying the outdoors through hunting, fishing, hiking, backpacking, skiing or other outdoor activities)
  • flora (wildflowers, foliage, fruiting bodies or other parts of plants).
“This year, we’re especially looking for more entries in the recreation and flora categories,” said Joiner.
Contest entry is free and photographers may submit up to 10 photos. To enter, send:
