Nature Year Photo 2009 Competition: One Day to Go
Looduse Omnibuss and Nordea Bank invite all nature enthusiasts – adults, young people and children – to take part in the photo competition “Looduse Aasta Foto 2009”, “Nature Year Photo 2009”. The deadline for submission of contributions is March 16th, and the winners’ names will be announced in Tallinn’s Linnahall auditorium on April 19th 2009.
From 2005 we have awarded Dancing Wolves. From among them we will select for the third time the Nature Photographer of the Year, the Great Wolf. 2007 the title was won by Anton Novožilov from Narva, last year by a winner in the young people’s contests, Ants Tammik. Who will be next?
