2008 Chicago Zoological Society Photo Contest

 

 

Take your best shot of your favorite animal and enter it in the Chicago Zoological Society’s annual Photo Contest. With its beautiful gardens and extensive animal collection, Brookfield Zoo provides the perfect setting to capture a winning shot (however, pictures do not have to be taken at the zoo). The grand prize winner will receive an airline voucher for round-trip main cabin air transportation for himself or herself and a companion to any destination in the contiguous United States, served directly by American Airlines.

 

Entries must be 8 by 10 inches, and either color or black and white, and they must feature an animal (photos with people will not be accepted). Photos should not be framed or matted. To enter, simply fill out an entry form (available online or at the zoo’s north and south information kiosks) and tape it to the back of your photo (one entry per person).

Send your entry to:

Brookfield Zoo

2008 Photo Contest

3300 Golf Road

Brookfield, IL 60513.

 

Or, drop off your photo and entry form at the zoo’s South Gate Reception. Don’t delay. All entries must be received by Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 5:00 p.m.  Also, make sure you keep a print of your photo for yourself—entries will not be returned and will become the property of the Chicago Zoological Society.

 

Judges will select one grand prize winner from all entries. In addition, a first-, second-, and third-place winner will be selected in two age categories—adult (12 and older) and child (11 and under). Photo Contest winners will be notified by phone and invited to an awards reception on Saturday, October 18. Winning photos will be displayed in the zoo’s Discovery Center lobby through mid-November as well as on www.CZS.org.

 

The 2008 Photo Contest is sponsored by Fisher-Price®, American Airlines, and Holiday Camera. House of Color will be matting the winning photos.
