This competition is restricted to images of wildlife, and by wildlife we mean animal wildlife, not the human kind. No “hand of man” may be visible in the images.

Winners will be announced on August 20, 2009
I, and I alone get to select the winners
One prize per person
No whining, grumbling, protesting, fussing, or moaning about who the winners are or are not
Contest is open to any amateur (must make less than 50% of your income from photography) wildlife photographers in the world, however shipping of your prize may not exceed $30USD, if shipping of your prize to your country exceeds $30USD from my location in the US then you forfeit the prize (sorry I need to keep costs under control), but you will still be considered a winner of the contest.
You agree only to submit images that YOU yourself took, and which you own. Potential winners may be asked to submit proof of ownership
By submitting your images to the Flickr group indicated above you agree to allow us to feature your winning image on our blog, SHOULD YOU BE ONE OF THE SELECTED WINNERS
I make no guarantees or promises, and I alone make the final decisions on any prize eligibility, and no method of dispute resolution is provided
You and you alone are responsible for any taxes, import duties or other fees related to the prizes
Sorry for some of the more ominous sounding rules, but this is just how it has to be

Looking forward to seeing your images!
