We have reserved a special spot for YOU on the pages of our newest book Wildlife in Focus IV.

The Coastal Bend Wildlife Photo Contest is offering you the chance to be published in our next book as a dedicated supporter of wildlife and habitat conservation. By ordering 20 or more books you will become a Book Patron and will have your name or company published along with a list of other fine folks who enjoy this privilege.

Wildlife in Focus IV will feature over 175 LOCAL award winning wildlife photographs from some of the most unique private ranches around. These photographs will allow you to see beyond the ranch gate and into the private lands of Texas where our precious wildlife and habitat co-exist.

By pre-ordering your books, you make it possible for the Coastal Bend Wildlife Photo Contest to pay the publication cost of the book. In order to print our goal of 10,000 books, we need to pre-sale at least 4,000 more books before May of 2008.

Order books using our convenient and secure PAYPAL services with any major credit card at http://www.wildlifephotocontest.com/books

In return we promise a world class photography book featuring birds, mammals, insects, reptiles, and the stunning sunrise and sunsets of the Coastal Bend delivered to you before Christmas 2008.

Thank you for your generous support,

Michelle Horine
Executive Director

 

The Coastal Bend Wildlife Photo Contest is offering you a rare opportunity available to a limited number of organizations and individuals dedicated to the support of wildlife and habitat conservation.
