2022 Annual Photo Contest

The Desert Tortoise Council is pleased to present the winners and all the photos submitted to the 2022 Photo Contest, held as part of our virtual symposium. Each year we encourage our membership to submit their best wildlife and nature photographs for a chance to win cash prizes, as well as to aid the Desert Tortoise Council in educating the public and advocating desert conservation through photography. Only registered symposium attendees may enter the contest.
