This year’s theme was “Our city residents”. You can submit a total of three of your best photos of birds of prey commonly seen in Quebec or Eastern Canada.

The application of framing, relevance to the theme, originality of the subject, creativity in composition, clarity of the shot, originality of the title, as well as brightness and contrast will be decisive criteria in choosing the winners.

As UQROP’s mission is the conservation of birds of prey, the contest organizers ask participating photographers to follow a code of ethics that respects birds when taking their photographs. Please note that the jury reserves the right to reject any photo deemed “unethical”.
