Annual 2023 Competition
The UK Butterflies 2023 Annual Photography Competition is now open for entries! In keeping with the online nature of the UK Butterflies website, the competition itself will be conducted entirely over the web. The competition closes on November 30th and the winning photos will be announced in early December.
Entering Your Photos
You must be a member of the UK Butterflies forums to submit your photos. To register, access the forums (index.php), click on the Register button in the top right of the menu bar, and then fill in your details. Your membership will be activated once it has been checked by an administrator, after which you can login.
Once you have logged in, you may contribute up to 3 photos in total, each of which should be placed in THIS THREAD (just 'Post Reply' and add your photos using the ''Add Files' button in the 'Attachments' tab below the text field). All photos must have been taken in the wild (and may have been taken outside of the UK, despite the name of this website!).
Judging
Judging will be conducted by an independent panel, and their decision is final. Please refrain from commenting on images that are posted until after the competition has closed.
Prize
The competition is supported by Greenwings (https://greenwings.co), the UK Butterflies sponsor. The winner will receive a signed copy of 'British & Irish Butterfly Rarities' by Pete Eeles (https://www.butterflyrarities.com).
Good luck!
Cheers,

Re: Annual 2023 Competition
3 photographs for the competition 2023 please..
1) The most iridescent Silver studded blue female I've ever seen, and others agree. A kaleidoscope of colours in June sunshine. Shropshire
2) " I'm batman...." A comical Peacock butterfly with interesting low sunshine and shadows being cast, Merseyside.
3) A wind battling common blue... a little passed it's best but framed beautifully.
Cheers, Aron Bowers

I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self contained...
