Competition details

There is always wildlife around us, even at home. With the many healing properties nature has to offer, we are challenging students to a photo competition to capture the natural beauty around their homes.

The Wild Snaps photo competition has now reopened! In April 2020, we ran Round 1, and students can now continue to enter the competition with fortnightly changing themes, proudly supported by QBE Insurance.

Example

Spiny Leaf Insect

Title: Spiny Leaf Insect

Description: This stick insect was found in a gum tree eating leaves in my garden.

NOTE: your safety, well-being and health is our top priority. If you cannot safely venture into the outdoors, we ask that you please respect current self-isolation guidelines. You would be surprised how much you can discover from some in-home exploring. There is so much to see from a balcony or even lurking around the house!
The prize

Each fortnight's theme will have two winners. One from each category:

    Category one: Early Stage 1 - Stage 3 (Kindergarten to Year 6)
    Category two: Stage 4 - Stage 6 (Year 7 to Year 12)

Each fortnightly winner's winning photos will be shared on Taronga Education's Facebook page. Plus, each winner will receive a family pass to visit Taronga Zoo Sydney or Taronga Western Plains Zoo Dubbo*.

*Only valid from when Taronga Zoo reopens to the public for 12 months after reopening date (yet to be announced).
