Theme:
Photos must be wildlife related, with a focus on garden wildlife. These can include but are not restricted to birds, flowers, weather, insects, plants, animals, seasons, etc. Our criteria for selecting the winning entry is built around our strapline "A garden full of life™" and as such, the quality of the photo is not the overriding factor, so please also send us all those interesting photos often caught on compacts and camera phones these days.

Tips & Guidelines

Photos:
Take some close-up photos as well as some wider pictures to show the subject's environment but try to include something in the foreground to add impact.
Remember to look up or down to see what's around you. You might get a better shot if you kneel, or find a position to look down from.
Garden birds tend to be small and fast-moving. It's well worth spending some time watching them before you start trying to take photos.
Most birds and animals are busiest at dawn; an early start can pay dividends.
Natural light changes from blue to yellow through the day, taking pictures at different times can really affect the mood of the shot.
Make sure you have permission from anyone pictured before submitting the photographs.

Words:
Each picture will need a caption. A good title will enhance the overall effect of the photo.
Where, when and what is a good place to start when writing a picture caption, by adding the how and why can really add life to an image.
We don't need many words - no more than 100 per picture.

Terms and Conditions:
You can submit multiple images in a month but they will only count as one monthly lucky dip entry.
The Ark Wildlife team will judge all entries and pick one image in each competition that best represents in their opinion the theme 'a garden full of life'.
If you submit an image, you do so in accordance with Ark Wildlife's Terms and Conditions.
