Please include the following other info, (Phone#, website, Piece’s title, media)
- A current 2025 membership is required to submit to this competition.

- The sizing and labeling of your images are very important. Label your image files in the following manner: first and last name, the medium used, size, piece title. Here is an Example: JohnBrown_Photography_8x10_bigBird.
- The file name may not include characters such as #, $, &, periods or other similar characters as part of the file, and it is important to follow these instructions about the file name to allow the right storage into the image database.

- SWAA reserves the right to choose an alternative winner if they deem the quality of the submission’s resolution was insufficient to make a quality reproduction.
- Saskatoon Wildlife Federation makes the final call whether a piece will be entered into the final calendar print. All winners of the seasonal competitions may not actually be included in the yearly calendar at the discretion of the Saskatoon Wildlife federation.
