Sanctuary Wildlife Photography Awards 2022 - Enter Now!

About the Contest

At Sanctuary, they combine still images and stirring words to sensitize human hearts and minds. They believe that powerful, evocative images have the power to draw out supportive human responses. Conservation photography is an art form that has helped protect wildernesses virtually from the time cameras were invented. It is a blend of technical skills, natural history knowledge, field experience, and an innate desire to protect wild nature. The Sanctuary Wildlife Photography Awards were instituted to showcase the contributions of India's best wildlife photographers. Every year they receive a vast pool of stunning photographs, which reinforces the urgent need to conserve India's wildlife.
