Do you enjoy birding through a camera lens as much as through binoculars? Show off your birding finesse AND your photography skills while supporting Travis Audubon!

Travis Audubon’s Birdathon Contest is now the Greg Lasley Photography Contest to honor our late friend and legendary wildlife photographer. First place in this contest will receive the Greg Lasley Award for Photographic Excellence.

There are some guidelines for the photos that can be submitted.
Photos should:
– contain birds (and no people!)
– be taken between April 1 and May 12, 2024 (you know, Birdathon dates!)
– be taken in Texas
– be submitted by the photographer (or guardian if the photographer is a minor)

Since this is a fundraiser, entry into the contest is $25 for up to 5 photos, or $50 for up to 10 photos.

Photos do not need to be taken during an official Birdathon excursion. If you have a great photo op while drinking coffee on your back porch, then that’s great!

What’s in it for the winners? The top five photos will be featured on Travis Audubon’s social media platforms (Facebook and Instagram) with photographer recognition. The first place photo winner who receives the Greg Lasley Award for Photographic Excellence will have their photo included in our Annual Report AND will receive a $250 gift card to Land Sea & Sky Co.
Note: Photographers can only place once each year. So, the top five photos will be from five different photographers.

Submit your photos by sending them to birdathonphoto@yahoo.com. Each photo should include an ID down to species level (common names are fine). You will receive a reply that provides a link to pay the entry fee. The deadline to submit is Tuesday, May 14, 11:59 PM CT.

This contest is sponsored by Land Sea & Sky Co. We thank them for their generous support!
