We invite you to share your best nature photos of Wisconsin with us. Show us the trails you’ve trekked, the waters you’ve paddled, the wildlife you’ve encountered, and all the wonders of Wisconsin that have brought you joy.

We welcome submissions of any nature photo taken in Wisconsin and encourage submissions of photos taken on the Foundation’s Field Trip Program. Prizes will be awarded for First, Second, and Third Places; Field Trip Photo; and People’s Choice.

The Foundation is dedicated to protecting the lands, waters, and wildlife that you cherish most. We thank you for being a part of our mission and letting us see our work through your lens.
