Enter the Wildlife Photography Contest for FREE
Every month, we celebrate the art of wildlife photography through our monthly wildlife photography contest. Share your best shot and compete for features, recognition, and a chance to be part of something wild.
Dear wildlife photographer,
As the founder of Ethologix, I believe wildlife photography is more than just capturing animals — it’s about telling their stories. Through every powerful image, we create awareness, inspire respect, and deepen our connection with the natural world. This contest celebrates those moments and the photographers who bring them to life.
Kind regards, Ethologix
Prizes and Recognition in Our Wildlife Photography Contest
The wildlife photography contest at Ethologix may still be in its early phase, but every winner already earns something truly valuable: visibility and recognition. Each winning photo receives a featured review on our website, is spotlighted on Instagram, and earns a permanent spot in our Hall of Fame — helping nature photographers grow and gain exposure.
While we’re not offering physical prizes just yet, future contests may include giveaways, gear, or even cash — once sponsors step in. For now, winners receive early access to community perks and increased chances of being featured in future promotions. By entering today, you’re becoming part of a growing platform dedicated to rewarding powerful wildlife photography.
Contest Rules – Keeping It Fair & Wild
1# Only Wild Animals in the Wild
We only accept photos of wild animals in their natural habitat. That means no pets, zoo animals, or staged scenes. This contest is about capturing authentic moments in nature — the kind that happen when you patiently observe and let wildlife be wild.
2# Only Wild Animals in the Wild
All entries must be your own original photograph. Light editing is allowed (like cropping or adjusting colors), but over-editing, AI tools, or fake elements are not permitted. We want real nature, seen through your eyes — raw, honest, and powerful.
3# One Shot, Once a Month
You can submit one photo per month, so make it count. Pick the image that tells the strongest story or captures a rare wild moment. The deadline is the last day of each month. Stay within the rules and respect nature — ethical photography is just as important as the shot itself.
