Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge Photography Contest

To celebrate National Wildlife Refuges and the beauty of nature, Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge invites all photographers to enter the 22nd Annual Nature Photography Contest.  All photos must be captured on federally managed public lands. Photos taken on other sites (state managed lands, metroparks, local parks, etc) will not be considered. 

Prizes will be awarded! Winners in each category will be included in a 2022 calendar and will receive a complementary copy. (Additional calendars will be available for purchase in September.) The Best of Show will be featured in the Friends Annual Report and will include a private bus tour of the refuge for up to 14 people! 

Entries will be accepted July 1 - September 4, 2021.
