Postercompetition

Until April 3, 2023, amateur and professional photographers worldwide have the opportunity to submit their fascinating or amazing animal portraits. Prerequisite: In the picture, an animal looks at the viewer and the picture tells a story - just like a good nature film.
A jury of experts will review the submissions and determine the winner. The winning image will be announced in April and will advertise the festival on program booklets, posters, the website and social media for a year starting in July 2023.
