WWT Photography Competition 2010

WWT wetland centres have long been appreciated by photographers - experienced and beginner alike. There's always something amazing to point your lens at. Enjoy the stunning results here, download wallpaper for your desktop and vote for your favourite photographs.

Lady Scott, the late wife of Sir Peter Scott, inspired many people over the decades with her images of wildfowl and wetlands. We welcome all photographers to exhibit their work here and continue Lady Scott's legacy by showing the world the wonder of wetlands.

There are 60 ways to win in our competition this year and some fantastic prizes. Everyone who votes for their favourite photograph can enter a draw to win membership to WWT - so you don't even have to own a camera to win!

If you're new to photography (and even if you're not!), Chris Packham's tips are a great place to start. Then head down to a WWT wetland centre to try them out!

NEW for 2010 - the People's Choice award

This year, as well as the prizes awarded by our panels of experts, we have nine prizes to be awarded by you. Look through the gallery and vote for your favourites. The photograph with the most votes from each of our wetland centres will win our People's Choice award.

If you are entering a photograph, upload your photos as early as possible and share them with friends through our site for the best chance of winning.

"Forget forking out for a new camera body or super-telephoto lens - visiting a WWT centre regularly is probably the best way to improve your bird photography! Remember that as well as taking pictures, you'll also be helping to give something back." Marcus Hawkins, Photo Radar, Better winter bird shots
