2017 CONTESTS | Delta Birding Festival |

Contest rules Contest winners	DBF PHOTO CONTEST – Photography contest
	Photography contest in which we invite all photographers, both amateur and professional, to participate to promote the beauty of birds and nature around us through their images. The contest theme is “Wild birds and nature” and accepts photographs of birds in the wild anywhere in the world. In the selection of exhibited and awarded photographs we will take in account particularly the originality, technical and artistic quality and the difficulty of the images, and also the capacity to communicate to the viewer the necessity to preserve wildlife, not only by itself, but also because of its importance for the survival of humankind and the planet we live in. CATEGORIES BIRDS – PORTRAIT: Images that reveal the personality of an individual or group of individuals, so that elicit some kind of emotional reaction or reflection in the viewer. BIRDS – BEHAVIOUR: Images of a characteristic behaviour of the species that is not easy to observe and that is visually attractive of spectacular. BIRDS AND THEIR SURROUNDINGS: Images that recall the atmosphere and relationship of the birds and the place where they are, with the habitat as an important element of the image, that allows to transmit that wild birds are an integral part of the surroundings where they live, which very often is the one we have to preserve to guarantee the continuity of the species. **BIRDS OF THE EBRO DELTA: Images of any of the above categories but that have been taken in the Ebro Delta. Finalist photographs will be exhibited in Room 3 of MónNatura Delta throughout the Festival. Very interesting PRIZES are waiting for you! Check the WINNERS!
