Welcome to the 2024 Garden for Wildlife® Photo Contest!
The 2024 Garden for Wildlife® Photo Contest celebrates the power of photography to communicate the importance of supporting wildlife where people live, play, learn, work, and worship.
Be part of our visual community that recognizes the impact of gardening for wildlife. We are rewarding the photographs that best illustrate the faces of wildlife gardening through striking color images showing the impact of habitat gardens on wildlife and people in urban, suburban and rural settings on land, in the air, and in the water. Every person who enters not only honors their own work, but also helps support the conservation mission of the National Wildlife Federation, which is dedicated to saving wildlife species and their habitats.
