The photographers make this contest happen. Their tremendous commitments of time, money, blood, sweat, and tears, create the world’s greatest images. Our contest attracts the most dedicated & talented wildlife photographers in the business.
The private landowner is the reason for the contest. All living creatures require food, water, and shelter. The tremendous diversity of trees, shrubs and other native plants provide those key elements for the multitude of critters that call South Texas home. We applaud our landowners for allowing the photographers to come and share in that experience.
