CHEYENNE — Photographers of all ages and skill levels can have their work published in Wyoming Wildlife magazine as part of the magazine’s annual photo contest, which is now accepting submissions.
Contest rules and how to submit photos can be found on the contest entry page. Entries must be submitted before midnight, Nov. 23. Winning entries will be published in the February 2027 issue of the magazine. The grand prize winner for the best overall photo receives $600 donated by this year’s contest sponsor — The Wyldlife Fund. Prizes also are given to first, second and third places, as well as honorable mention recognition in four categories:
- Wildlife: Wild mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and arthropods. Priority will be given to species managed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.
- Scenic: Landmarks, scenery or inanimate objects are prominent.
- Recreation: People enjoying the outdoors through hunting, fishing, hiking, backpacking, etc. Priority will be given to those activities that contribute to the Game and Fish’s mission of Conserving Wildlife, Serving People.
- Flora: Wildflowers, foliage, fruiting bodies or other parts of plants.
“This photo contest celebrates the remarkable photography being created across our state,” said Tracie Binkerd, magazine editor. “With multiple categories, there’s an opportunity for everyone to share their unique perspective. Whether you’re a professional photographer with years of experience or an explorer using a cell phone to capture a beautiful moment, we invite you to enter.”
Contestants can submit up to 10 photos across all four categories. Photos must have been taken in Wyoming and cannot have been previously printed or taken on assignment for Wyoming Wildlife.
