Wings of Hope

Wings of Hope is our inaugural bird photography contest and fundraiser. Together, we celebrate the beauty and artistry of bird photography while raising funds to help children who need us most.

Every entry fee helps provide life-changing medical care for vulnerable children in Asia through Knowing Hope, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your participation supports children living with chronic and catastrophic illnesses who might otherwise face relinquishment to an orphanage or be forced to abandon treatment because their families cannot afford the care they need.

Photographers of all levels are invited to submit their finest bird images across four categories: Birds in Flight, Perched & Portrait, Behavior & Interaction, and Juvenile & Nesting within two divisions (novice or advanced). Prizes will be drawn from a pool that includes a Cotton Carrier harness, Vortex binoculars, a Delkin CF card, a Wimberley monogimbal head, a Think Tank camera backpack, and a 1-year KelbyOne Pro Membership.

Entries will be judged by our three talented judges, Duade Paton, Marina Scarr, and David Lindo.
