Got some great photos that you’ve taken at the Academy of Sciences? Here’s your chance to share them and maybe even win an exclusive behind-the-scenes photo safari at the museum.
From now until February 14, 2011, you can submit your photos into the Academy’s “Love Life” contest where they’ll be judged by top photo editors and experts, including Academy Executive Director Greg Farrington, and Russell Yip, SF Chronicle Photo Editor.
In addition to the top prize of a behind the scenes photo safari, winners will be selected for top photos in each of the five categories and win prizes. Categories for the Love Life contest include:
- Land life: butterflies, snakes, alligator… all life on land
- Aquatic life: fish, sea stars, coral… all life underwater
- Still life: architecture, dioramas, specimens, fossils… all that is inanimate
- Family life: people at the Academy
- NightLife: the Academy at night
Entering is easy – just post your high resolution photograph entries on the free photo sharing site Flickr.com and tag your photos with “academylovelife”. The slideshow above is photos that have already been submitted to the contest. Find out more
The awards presentation will take place in the Piazza at a NightLife event, where the winning images will be projected onscreen.
I entered some of the pics I took last year, but it looks like I’ve got some stiff competition! 🙂
