Feathers, Fur & Scales Photo Contest

11th Anniversary Feathers, Fur & Scales Photo Contest – sponsored by Canon

Guests have the opportunity to capture the spirit of the animals at the Dallas Zoo and enter their photos into the Feathers, Fur & Scales photo contest.  The Zoo’s 11th annual photography contest is accepting entries until September 30, 2013.

The contest is open to everyone from children to experienced professionals.  The entry fee of $15 enables participants to submit up to three 8×10 prints of any animal from the Dallas Zoo or the Children’s Aquarium at Fair Park.  All photos must be taken between April 1 and September 30, 2013. Prints may be in color or black and white and should be unframed and unmounted.

Photos will be judged in three categories: youth (12 and under); teen (ages 13 to 19 years); and adult. First, second, and third place winners will be selected in each category and best of show will be awarded.  The grand prize winner will receive a camera from Canon USA.

Sponsors of the Feathers, Fur & Scales Photo Contest include Arlington Camera, Camera Stop, Canon USA, and Fort Worth Camera.  Entry forms are available online, at the Dallas Zoo’s administration building, and at sponsor locations.
