Digital photographs and slides taken in the calendar year prior to the competition are acceptable. It would be very helpful if digital entries could be submitted to

The closing date for the 2009 competition is 19th January 2010, by which time
all entries must be forwarded to Paul Ellis.
· Only three images per category per photographer
· All photographs must be taken during the twelve months prior to the competition
· No photographs taken at the nest
· No photographs of captive or trapped birds
· Hard copies/prints will not be accepted; please submit only digital photographs and/or slides
