2026 World Wildlife Day Photo Competition

Next date: Thursday, 08 January 2026 | 10:00 AM to Tuesday, 03 March 2026 | 11:59 PM

Welcome to the 2026 World Wildlife Day Photo Competition!

March 3 is World Wildlife Day and we’re celebrating our local wildlife and biodiversity with a photography competition.

World Wildlife Day is an international event hosted by the United Nations to celebrate the world’s plants, animals, and other living things, and acknowledge the contributions that wildlife makes to our lives and the planet. Australia is one of 17 mega-diverse countries, and a lot of wildlife is unique.

We want you to showcase the fantastic biodiversity across the QPRC region. Get your cameras ready and go find something cool to photograph! It can be a plant, an animal, or even a mushroom! It just needs to be native to the QPRC region. What will you find?

Get the best picture you can – but be careful not to touch or hurt any plants or animals while you’re there!

Entry is open to all QPRC residents 18 years old or younger. Fill out the form below and upload your picture to enter. Only one picture per entry, so choose carefully! Prizes will be on offer for the best submissions based on school year group.

Prizes Categories:

• Best Entry Kindergarten -Year 2
• Best Entry Year 3 - Year 6
• Best entry Year 7 - Year 10

Entries close at 11:59pm on Monday 3 March. All entries will be displayed, and prizes awarded to winners at an Awards Ceremony with details provided to all entrants at a later date.
