Other prizes will award the best visuals featuring migratory birds, landscapes and native plants that birds rely upon, female birds, and conservation challenges that birds face. Youth entrants can also win a special prize: A trip to Hog Island Audubon Camp in Maine for an unforgettable summer experience. Enter your best bird photos and videos for a chance to win a prize.

Now in its 17th year, the awards showcase stunning photos and videos that celebrate the joy of birds and highlight how they connect us all across geographies and ecosystems. Winning photos and videos will be published in the Fall 2026 issue of Audubon magazine and on audubon.org. Keep reading for detailed contest rules and tips on how to capture that picture-perfect moment.

We are grateful to our generous sponsor for helping make this year’s awards possible.
