What's it all about? It's all about creating compelling wildlife and nature images with a story! People of any age, with any gear, and any skill level can join in the fun. Use your photography to advocate for the local areas you love like Bells Gully, Trellisick Park, Zealandia, Ōtari-Wilton's Bush and your nearby reserve.
Created by local Ngaio photo-artist and conservationist, Judi Lapsley Miller, this will be the fifth year of this worldwide challenge. In 2022, you'll get a monthly theme and challenge, with weekly sparks for inspiration and learning. You'll also get access to our public and private Facebook groups filled with friendly wildlife photographers from around the world.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
