Amateur enthusiasts will have the chance to compete with professional photographers at Fascinating Bird Photography Competition 2019. The Ornithological Institute’s 2019 photo competition is open to European residents. Photos of birds in captivity (pets, farm animals, zoo animals) are not permitted.
We at the Swiss Ornithological Institute in Sempach hope to inspire public interest in birds and raise awareness for their protection. Widespread understanding and appreciation of our native birdlife are key factors to the success of our efforts. The more people care about birds and enjoy watching them, the better our chances of implementing effective conservation measures for threatened species.
Stunning photographs perfectly convey the fascination that birds evoke in us: images that display the striking colours of a bird’s plumage, introduce us to a wide range of behaviours, showcase the many shapes and sizes of birds from the Swan to the tiny Firecrest, and allow us to witness their aerobatic feats.
The goal of the Fascinating Bird Photography Competition 2019 is to showcase the beauty and fascination of our native birdlife and encourage involvement in nature and bird conservation by means of unique images.
