WCS Announces Camera Trap Contest

• Submit camera trap photos at WCS’s Wild View Photo Blog
• Winner receives gear from Patagonia
• Contest runs through March 23rd

NEW YORK (February, 24, 2015) – Attention all amateur or professional field biologists: WCS is looking for your camera trap images for an assignment on its Wild View Photo Blog.

Camera traps – sometimes called trail or game cameras – take remote images of wildlife through a tripping mechanism. They are used by biologists, scientists, and outdoor enthusiasts to monitor local wildlife populations. 

For this assignment, WCS has partnered with Nature Up North, a project of St. Lawrence University, and the St. Lawrence County Chamber to celebrate this tool.

The Wild View editorial team will review and select submissions based on appeal, composition, originality, and technical quality. A group of chosen shots for this assignment will be posted on Wild View. The team can consider two submissions per contributor.

The winner of the assignment chosen by Wild View Photo Blog and WCS social media readers will receive a Patagonia Black Hole Backpack, perfect for transporting your gear to the office, the crag, or the beach.

Submit camera trap photos at WCS’s Wild View Photo Blog.
