Capturing Ecology has introduced a new category – Plants and Fungi! Capturing Ecology is an annual photography competition run by the British Ecological Society, offering you the opportunity to showcase your research and the wonderful species you study. There’s also some great prizes up for grabs!
This year our very own Executive Editor, Richard Bardgett, is on the judging panel and will be looking out for your photos of plants and fungi.
⏰ Submit your photos by 16th July 2023 ⏰
Full details of the submission categories, prizes, rules, and how to enter can be found here. There are also links to useful tips and techniques to help you capture the best shot:
