For more than three decades, BirdWatching has published extraordinary photos taken by the world’s best bird photographers. We’re continuing that tradition in 2023 with the fifth annual BirdWatching Photography Awards, our premier contest for bird photography.
Photo Contests
The birds we see in cities and suburbs, backyards and gardens, and balconies and rooftops are just as photogenic as those in other habitats. Our Backyard & City Birds Photo Contest celebrates the beauty, diversity, and behaviors of the songbirds, raptors, hummingbirds, and other feathered friends that we encounter in urban and suburban areas.
Have you taken show stopping portraits of wild birds? They can be frame-filling head-and-shoulder closeups, full-body images in which every feather is tack-sharp, or photos that, in their composition, place birds in their habitats.
Birds in Flight is a contest to honor and celebrate photographs of flying birds. Is any other type of bird photography as challenging? To frame and shoot photos of a fast-moving subject requires camera smarts, an understanding of bird behavior, quick reflexes, and creativity.
