Not Long Ago, The Birdlife Australia Photography Competition Announced The Winning And Selected Photos Of Its 2022 Competition.

With over 5,600 images submitted by photographers worldwide, the BirdLife Australia Photo Contest celebrates bird life and raises funds to support bird conservation programs.

Participation in the competition is open to people of any nationality, But photographers can only submit photos of Australian bird species taken in Australia or overseas.

According to Luca Amorim, coordinator of this year’s event, the main factor that all the judges were looking for in the photos was something unique that stood out from the rest, something different and unusual. They also looked for creative lighting techniques to showcase the photographer’s creativity and adaptability.

What impressed Luca most about the winning photos was the photographers’ diverse skills across various birds and habitats.
