Entries for the 2008 competition are now closed. Thank you to all those photographers for entering this year's ANZANG competition. Winners will be announced in late September.

ANZANG Nature is an organisation focused on the unique natural heritage of the bioregion of Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and New Guinea – continents and islands cast from the great southern continent of Gondwana Land over fifty million years ago in which, due to long periods of isolation, remarkable flora and fauna have evolved.

ANZANG Nature highlights this extraordinary legacy by encouraging photography of the region’s nature and wilderness, raising public awareness of its natural heritage, and providing support for nature conservation in the region.

To achieve these aims ANZANG Nature conducts the annual photographic competition to bring to light the very best photographs of animals, plants and landscapes taken in the region. The competition is open to all photographers, amateur or professional, of any age or nationality.

All winning and highly commended entries form a major travelling exhibition displayed at public museums and galleries, national and international.

Sponsors include institutions, corporations, organisations and individuals, all of whom support ANZANG Nature’s aims. Supporting sponsors are recognised throughout the competition and associated exhibitions.

Funds from book or merchandise sales surplus to the cost of each year’s competition and travelling exhibition are donated to conservation organisations in Australia and New Zealand that provide natural habitat for native flora and fauna sanctuary.
