PHOTO CONTEST

2027 Calendar and Photo Challenge

​

     Nature Regina is already planning for its 2027 calendar and encourages all members to start considering existing photographs or planning for new ones to submit for the calendar.

 

     The theme for the 2027 calendar is celebrating wetlands in and near Regina. By producing a calendar with this theme we hope to:

 

• to create greater awareness of the beauty and diversity of life found in our wetlands

• to raise awareness of the value of wetlands

• encourage wetland conservation.

​

     For the calendar we will accept any photo related to wetlands. This could include photos of wetland birds, insects, mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, plants and other life, wetland landscapes, people in wetlands and many other wetland related things members will think of.

 

     For this calendar wetlands include almost any area with water including lakes, ponds, large and small marshes, dugouts rivers and creeks. Photos should be taken within what we think of as our region, within about an hour and a half drive from Regina. So roughly to the Last Mountain National Wildlife Area, west end of Buffalo Pound, or similar distances.

 

     Remember that wetlands are around in winter as well, we hope to get some winter photos.

 

 

1. Entries will be accepted from now until midnight July 15, 2026.

2. Entrants must be Nature Regina members or volunteers.

3. Preference will be given to photos which communicate the attractiveness of the area, whether through a landscape or a photo of wildlife, wildflowers or other natural features. Photos may be taken at any time but must be taken in the natural area the photo is to represent.

4. Please practice ethical nature photography when participating in this contest. We ask that photography efforts do not cause direct or indirect disturbance to wildlife or their residences. Photos that include views of active nests or other active wildlife residences will not be accepted.”
