About this directory
What is listed
Competitions and international salons for wildlife and nature photography. General photography awards appear only when they have a dedicated wildlife or nature category.
How dates are checked
Deadlines, fees and entry links are read from each organiser's own website. A listing marked “Checked” was confirmed on that site on the date shown. A listing marked “Estimated” is waiting for its new edition to be announced, and its dates come from the previous edition.
Salons
Salon listings come from the Photographic Society of America's official list of recognised exhibitions, filtered to those with a Nature section. PSA warns that some exhibitions falsely claim recognition, so only enter exhibitions that appear on its list.
Who maintains it
Nature in Wild, an East Africa wildlife photography project. The directory is independent: no competition pays to be listed, and we are not affiliated with any organiser.
