We are beyond excited to celebrate the talented photographers who captured the wild beauty of South Florida in this year’s Wildlife Photography Contest!
This year’s contest brought in an incredible array of images—from intimate portraits of native wildlife to stunning action shots in their natural habitats. Each submission told a story of resilience, beauty, and the vital importance of conservation.
We are especially honored to have Mark Smith, renowned wildlife photographer and videographer, as our guest judge for 2025. With his expert eye and deep connection to nature, Mark brought thoughtful attention and care to the judging process, helping us select the most outstanding entries from a field of truly remarkable work.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated. Your images help us inspire appreciation for Florida’s wild inhabitants and promote our mission to protect them.
Congratulations once again to our winners! Thank you for helping us tell the story of wildlife through your lens.
