In order to see the latest photos added to our Flickr group in the slideshow below, you must be logged into your Flickr account.


Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.

Thank you to all who submitted photos. The deadline for submission has passed.

In order to see the latest parrot photo entries in the slideshow on the left, you must be logged into your Flickr account.

Deadline for submission:

Winner announced:
February 11, 2008

Before entering the contest, please read the contest rules.

How to Enter:

To enter the contest, you'll need a Flickr account. Then, follow these steps:

1. Join the PBS NATURE Flickr group.


2. Upload your parrot photo to your Flickr account.


3. Tag the photo with the tag "natureparrots" -- This step will make sure the judges will see it, and will add it to the photo stream on our site.


4. Enter a description, telling us the type of parrot, its name if it has one, and the place and date when the photo was taken. The photo must be of a parrot in order to be considered, and you must be the photographer. Do not upload illegal content of any kind.


5. You must set the license for your photo as either "Attribution-NonCommercial Creative Commons" or "Attribution Creative Commons" (What does this mean?). To do this, open the photo from your Flickr account. To the right of your photo, you'll see a heading that says "Additional Information." Below it is the current license setting for this photo. If it says "All rights reserved," you'll need to click edit and change the license in order to be eligible to participate in the contest. If you want, it's also possible to change the license on all of your Flickr photos at once.


6. Add your parrot photo to the PBS NATURE Flickr group, to share it with NATURE fans everywhere. (How do I do this?) The photo must be added to our Flickr group in order to be considered.


7. Important: Be sure to check the email account you used to sign up for Flickr! If you win, we will contact you through Flickr.

Judging and Prizes

Five NATURE producers will judge which photo is, in their opinion, the best parrot photo. The winner and two runners-up will receive a free copy of "Parrots in the Land of Oz" on DVD and will be posted in our winners circle slideshow. Two other submissions will receive honorable mention on the NATURE Web site and will be posted on our winners circle slideshow.

Contest Rules:

• You must be the creator of the photo you submit, and you may not submit copyrighted material. See Step 5 of "How to Enter" for more details.
• By submitting your photo, you give permission for us to display your image on the NATURE Web site.
• Employees of PBS, Thirteen/WNET, and their families are not eligible to participate in the contest.
• If you win, NATURE must be able to contact you through Flickr, so when you sign up, use a valid email address.
