:Due to the ongoing popularity of our photo contest series, the DBC is launching a third contest focused on summer birds. We are looking for pictures of birds taken between June 1, 2022 and August 31, 2022. Photographs will be judged by a small team of DBC members. All photos are welcome: amateur, funny, imperfect, high-quality. The “story behind the shot” will be taken into account when judging. The judges want this to be a fun contest; no categories have already been defined for award-winners so every entry has a chance to win!
The contest is open to DBC members only. Photos may be taken anywhere (not just DuPage/Illinois). If a picture includes people, the submitter must have permission from those people to publish their image on the DBC website.
There are two ways to enter your bird photographs (Note: Photo entries must be received by September 15):
If you have a Google Account (you have one if you use Gmail) click the link below.
