I entered this year, but after I realized that it was $35 <em>per photograph</em>, I stopped uploading after only 1 image. Too costly, and not enough exposure in the event you have a winning entry. The Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year is much more prestigious, has an awesome display up for a year in London, and there is a traveling exhibit that goes all around the world. The Nature's Best competition is also just as amazing.</p> that is pretty silly. I entered this year, but after I realized that it was $35 per photograph, I stopped uploading after only 1 image.
