ANNUAL MIGRATION CELEBRATION PHOTO CONTEST

The Nature Photography Contest is held each year to recognize local nature photographers, and is a program of the Migration Celebration, a ​​​U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service event from the Texas Mid-coast National Wildlife Complex, underwritten by Friends of the Brazoria Wildlife Refuges. The Photo Contest is coordinated by the Migration Celebration Photo Committee. Nature Photography is one of six legislated public uses of national wildlife refuges (NWRs); along with wildlife observation, interpretation, environmental education, hunting, and fishing.
