Time...not money to enter!!
The Pangolin Photo Challenge has a very unique "entry fee"!
Through our non-profit organisation, Pangolin.Africa we have devised a simple two-part course where you can learn all about the four African Pangolin species and what to do when you are lucky enough to encounter one in the wild. Once completed you will become a Pangolin Guardian and qualify for free entry into this year's Pangolin Photo Challenge.
It takes less than 15 minutes to complete and you will find it incredibly interesting and worthwhile use of your time. To start the course please click here.
The great de-bait.
For those of you who have been following us for a while, you will know our stance on baiting in wildlife photography. On safari, we do not allow any form of baiting, and so we will continue this stance in the Pangolin Photo Challenge too.
For clarification, we regard baiting as the placing of food in a location to specifically attract an animal to alter its behaviour. This applies to live and dead bait or any type of food (seeds, bread, etc.). This does not apply to permanent water sources that have become part of the animal's natural environment, such as waterholes, ponds, and birdbaths, for example.
We hope you understand and appreciate our stance against baiting. If you suspect an image has been captured using bait, then you can report it in the gallery section. We will then investigate and make a ruling.
