The judging is completed and the finalists in WildCare's 2025 Living with Wildlife Photography Contest have been chosen.
All that remains is for YOU to help us pick the People's Choice Award winner in this year's contest! Click here to vote for your favorite photographs!
WildCare's photography contest received over 200 stunning entries this year. Each one showcases the beauty of California wildlife and landscape, AND the amazing talents of our photographers!
Can you vote for more than one photo? Of course you can! But your vote will only count once per photo, based on the email address you use. In other words, you can't vote for the same photo multiple times. The photo with the most votes (after we remove any duplicates) will be the People's Choice winner.
Voting closes Sunday, November 2, 2025 at midnight.
Contest winners in all our categories will be announced in early December.
Enjoy these gorgeous photographs and vote today!

The Prize for the Best in Show photograph will be $500 and your photograph featured in WildCare's Newsletter.
Prizes will also be given for the best photograph in each category and for a People's Choice Award to be determined by an online vote. Cash prizes made possible by a generous donor.
Entry fees are $20 per photograph, and all entries must include a digital file of the image. The deadline to enter the 2025 WildCare Photo Contest was Friday, September 26, 2025.
Entry fees support WildCare's programs including our Wildlife Hospital and our Nature Education programs. Your photos also help us advocate for and educate about the wild animals with which we share our environment.
Entered photos will grace our website and printed materials, and may also be used to raise much-needed funds for our organization. Click for our Photography Contest Rules for more information.
