Brookfield Zoo Photo Contest

http://www.czs.org/czs/Brookfield/Events/2009-Photo-Contest-Reception

Take your best shot of your favorite animal and enter it in the Chicago Zoological Society’s annual Photo Contest. With its beautiful gardens and extensive animal collection, Brookfield Zoo provides the perfect setting to capture a winning shot (however, pictures do not have to be taken at the zoo). The grand prize winner will receive round-trip main cabin air transportation for two, to any American Airlines/American Eagle destination in the contiguous United States, courtesy of American Airlines.

Entries must be 8 by 10 inches, and either color or black and white, and they must feature an animal (photos with people will not be accepted). Photos should not be framed or matted. To enter, simply fill out an entry form (available online or at the zoo’s north and south information kiosks) and tape it to the back of your photo (one entry per person).

Send your entry to:
Brookfield Zoo
Photo Contest
3300 Golf Road
Brookfield, IL 60513.

Or, drop off your photo and entry form at the zoo’s South Gate Reception. Don’t delay. All entries must be received by Monday, November 2, 5:00 p.m. Also, make sure you keep a print of your photo for yourself—entries will not be returned and will become the property of the Chicago Zoological Society.

Judges will select one grand prize winner from all entries. In addition, a first-, second-, and third-place winner will be selected in two age categories—adult (12 and older) and child (11 and under). Photo Contest winners will be notified by phone and invited to an awards reception on Saturday, November 14. Winning photos will be displayed in the zoo’s Discovery Center lobby through mid-December as well as on www.CZS.org.
