Baltic Sea - Young Wildlife Photographer 2010 Competition starts soon

Guides and Scouts of Finland (SP-FS) are organizing a Baltic Sea - Young Wildlife Photographer 2010 Competition (YWP 2010) in co-operation with WWF and Finnish Nature Photographers Association. The patron of the competition is Tarja Halonen, the President of the Republic of Finland.

The competition is open and free for all 15 to 18-year-olds. It opens already on July 15, 2010 and closes on the 1st of September 2010. The major prize is a Nikon SLR camera package (valued at 3,500 €). Winners of each category will be invited on a cruise to the Archipelago National Park in Finland during the summer of 2011.

All the information about the competition can be found on its website: www.ywp2010.com. There is also a country specified section for each country. General information is in English, but the rules and instruction have been translated to each language.

The competition is in itself an incentive to explore nature, develop oneself as a photographer, learn about the Baltic Sea (from the website) and promote solidarity among partner countries.
