BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year Award

For the first time, the BBC Wildlife magazine is running a competition for the Artist of the Year.
This event is open to amateurs and professional artists and is free to enter.
With 14 different categories to chose from, the opportunity to participate is open to many of those who have a passion for wildlife and wish to share their vision through art.
A winner will be chosen for each category and will have the artwork displayed at the annual exhibition of the Marwell International Wildlife Art Society. The winning works will also be published in the BBC Wildlife, August 2009.
From the several categories, an overall winner will receive the BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year 2009 award and will join the 7th Annual Festival of Wildlife, which will take place at the Pantanal, Brazil in 2010.
All entries must be received by 28 February 2009.
