NEW YORK – Audubon invites photographers and videographers to enter the 2024 Audubon Photography Awards, now open from January 10, 2024, until February 28, 2024, at 12 p.m. (noon) ET. Judges will award nine prizes, including the new Birds in Landscapes Prize, which will go to the top image depicting the relationship between birds and the places they need.
The contest’s new Birds in Landscapes Prize aims to highlight how birds connect with their broader surroundings. Birds do not need to be close up for the photograph to be successful. The setting can be wild, urban, or suburban, and the relationship can be symbiotic or can reflect a specific challenge birds face. Other prizes include the Grand Prize, Professional Prize, Amateur Prize, Youth Prize, Plants for Birds Prize, Fisher Prize, Female Bird Prize, and Video Prize.
Winners and honorable mentions will be featured in the Summer 2024 issue of Audubon magazine. Select photos and videos will also be featured in digital galleries promoted on Audubon’s website and social channels throughout the year. For inspiration, check out the 2023 Audubon Photography Awards winners!

Entry fees are $15 per image or video. No payment is required for submissions to the Youth division or to the Plants for Birds or Video divisions for entrants who are 13 to 17 years of age.

About Audubon The National Audubon Society is a nonprofit conservation organization that protects birds and puts them in their place and future. We are traveling across America on a long journey where birds thrive, because Audubon is a powerful, diverse and ever-growing conservation force. Audubon has more than 700 employees throughout the hemisphere and more than 1. 5 million active followers. North America has lost 3 billion birds since 1970, and more than 500 bird species are threatened with extinction in Latin America and the Caribbean. Birds act as early warning systems about the suitability of our environment and tell us that birds – and our planet – are in crisis. Together at Audubon, we are racing to replace the course of climate change and habitat loss, leading to fitter bird populations and reversing existing trends in biodiversity loss. We achieve this by implementing conservation on the ground, partnering with local communities, influencing public and corporate policies, and the construction community.
