Palmetto Bluff Conservancy April Photo Contest
2025-04-01 08:00 - 2025-04-30 12:00 | South Carolina
April 1st – April 30th
April Theme: Pollinators
The Palmetto Bluff Conservancy hosts a monthly photo contest that highlights the flora and fauna of the Lowcountry, and we want to see what you’ve seen! Each month will celebrate a different, Conservancy-related theme. All ages and skill levels are welcome! Photos must be submitted to info@pbconservancy.org to participate.
How are the photos judged?
Conservancy Educator, Aaron, will review each submission to ensure the photos meet all requirements. Approved entries will be sent to the Conservancy team to be judged in a blind judging.
Prizes: Our top three participants will receive raffle tickets (3 tickets for first place, 2 tickets for second place, and 1 ticket for third place) that will go into a pot for the chance to win a pair of Burn Fest tickets. The drawing will occur following the last Brown Bag Lunch of October 2024.
Rules:

Submitting a photo to the Palmetto Bluff Conservancy photo contest gives the Palmetto Bluff Conservancy permission to use the photo for posts, publications, products, and advertising.
Each participant may submit one photo per month related to that month’s theme. The photo does not need to be taken within that month.
All images must be taken in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
All photos must have complete information attached, including subjects, dates, and locations.
Animal and plant photographs must be wild; no captive animals or planted specimens.
The animal must be alive, and the photo be taken under natural conditions and in an ethical manner that places the welfare of the subject above the photographer’s desire to obtain an image.
Photos modified with AI will not be accepted.
