We're delighted to relaunch the Photography Competition for a further two months of entries.
With the lockdown limitations, implications of maintaining safe social
distances and restrictions caused by working from home we decided to alter the
remaining suggested themes to make them more suitable for the current
environment.
For June the suggested theme is From my Window and for July
we're suggesting Hidden Gems. Both are
open to interpretation and we hope you will enjoy looking for suitable subjects
or going back through your archive to find photos. More on these below.
Unfortunately we have
had to change the prizes on offer, the British Wildlife Photography Awards is
not currently accepting entries and therefore there is not a date for the
awards ceremony. Consequently we had to change the prizes on offer as we didn't
feel it was fair to keep the winner waiting on an event that might not happen
until 2021. Therefore the first prize is
membership of The Society of International Nature and Wildlife Photographers
is for pro and enthusiast photographers who enjoy photographing the natural
world.

This month (June) the suggested
theme is From my Window and the prize is a beepot from Green&Blue.
This month we're looking for views from your
window, whether that's your home, office or even car doesn't matter. It could
be an incredible sunrise, a lovely lupin in the garden, a flock of birds seen
over fields on your way to do the shopping, fledglings hoping about the grass
harassing parent birds, a window box bursting with promise on a balcony;
whatever it is you see that connects you to the natural world and all from the
safety of your home.
This month our chosen photo will win the
photographer a beepot from Green&Blue
, an award winning Cornish company who design and make a beautiful range of
products created to give nature a home.
Founded in 2005 by husband and wife team Gavin and Kate Christman, Green&Blue brought together their love of simple, stylish design and their passion for wildlife.
The Green&Blue range is designed and made in Cornwall and uses 75% waste material from the Cornish china clay industry. As well as the construction based products Green&Blue make a range for the garden, including beautiful birdfeeders, birdhouses and Beepot planters which have space for solitary bees to nest as well as somewhere to plant bee-friendly flowers.
In 2014 the company launched the Bee Brick, which went on to win the Soil
Association innovation award. With Bee Brick, Green&Blue recognised
that if they could work with a massive industry like construction, and make
each new house built provide habitat for wildlife as well as for people, they
could really help with large scale change in biodiversity. In 2019
Green&Blue added the SwiftBlock and the BatBlock to their range, creating
even more space for nature within the built environment.Founded in 2005 by husband and wife team Gavin and Kate Christman, Green&Blue brought together their love of simple, stylish design and their passion for wildlife.
