The BC Goes Wild 2025 Photography Contest welcomes photos of BC wildlife in their habitat, as well as acts of wildlife stewardship. Wildlife Stewardship, encourages you to submit pictures that illustrate ways of preventing negative interactions with wildlife. This can include: hiking with your pet on leash, keeping your garbage indoors and attractants secure, keeping a “bare” campsite, packing out garbage from a favourite camping spot etc. Please share your story behind the photo when you make your submission.

WildSafeBC recognizes that taking photos of wildlife can sometimes put people and wildlife at risk. As such, WildSafeBC has developed Photography Ethics that should be followed to prevent negative impacts on wildlife or put people at risk.

The contest ends on September 30th, 2025. There is no limit on the number of entries you can submit. Contest rules are available here.

The 1st place prize will consist of $150, as well as a WildSafeBC ball cap. Winners will be announced in October, 2025.
