Now Accepting Entries for the Arizona Wildlife Photo Contest
Submissions accepted through Aug. 9, 2024
As the inland state with the most species of native wildlife — more than 800 — there are ample opportunities to capture unique moments whether it’s while hiking, taking a walk in your neighborhood or on a scenic road trip. We can’t wait to see your wildlife photographs!
Do you want to see your photo on the cover of Arizona Wildlife Views? Do you have a knack for capturing great photos of wildlife? Then you won’t want to miss the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s 18th annual wildlife photo contest.
One best in show and 11 winners will be showcased in the 2025 calendar, which is published as part of the November-December 2024 issue of Arizona Wildlife Views. The best-in-show photo is published on the cover of the issue and as one of the photos representing a month.
We’re partnering with Arizona Highways to provide an easier way to submit photographs. Use the online form to submit your Arizona wildlife photos. Each contestant may submit a maximum of three photographs, which must be uploaded as separate submissions through the form.
Please review the Official Rules prior to entering. Entrants are responsible for complying with the Official Rules or may result in disqualification. This contest is for images of Arizona wildlife. All photos must depict wildlife native to and found in Arizona, and all photos must have been taken in Arizona settings.
The deadline is 5 p.m. MST on Aug. 9, 2024.
Winners will be announced after Nov. 1, 2024.
