As in previous years, the Birds of Prey Protection Foundation organized the Best Photography Competition: “The Birds in Action” under the auspices of the “Photo Association of Serbia”.
The best photographs from the previous competitions are on the posters and calendar of the Foundation, showing all the beauty of diversity and at the same time calling for the protection of endangered species in Serbia. Our goal is also to popularize the author’s photo inspired by birds, but also to point out the bad status of endangered species and natural habitats in Serbia.
Everybody can participate in it, regardless of residence and whether they are dealing with photography professionally or amateurly. According to the competition rules, one participant can send up to four (4) photographs. Only wild bird photos – recorded exclusively in nature, come into consideration. Photos from ZOOs or birds from captivity will be excluded. The photos can be black and white or in color or in digital form. The photo format is “JPG”, at least 1920 pixels in length on a longer page format, at a resolution of 300 dpi.
Each group of photos should also follow the information and “Application Form” about the author (name, surname, address, contact telephone and e-mail) and the work (name, where and when the photo was taken). The name of the photo and the serial number must be in accordance with the “Application form”, and by signing the Application, the author declares that all the photos are his. Application-Form 2020
With strict compliance with copyright law photos participating in the Competition, the Birds of Prey Protection Foundation will use to achieve their goals – the protection of endangered species, unless the author requires otherwise. The submission of photographs to third parties is possible only with the agreement with the author!
The deadline for the reception of this year’s works is November 2, 2020. After that the expert jury will review the works and choose the best photographs. It will notify interested parties about their final decision no later than November 10, 2020, through the Foundation website and Facebook page. The winners will be notified by e-mail about that, as well as awards.
The Birds of Prey Protection Foundation will also organize an Exhibition of the best photographs from 10th to 17nd of December 2020, (Cultural Center “Vlado DIvljan”, st. Mitropolita Petra br. 8, Belgrade)and we will let you know about the place and time later. The Exhibition will be accompanied by a Catalog of selected works on the 18th calendar of the Foundation for 2021, which will include catalog data and will be delivered to photo authors either at the exhibition itself or by the end of 2020. The exhibition will also include the promotion of posters with award-winning photography from the competition.
