Special Exhibit

2012 International Conservation Photography Awards

June 30, 2012 – Nov. 25, 2012

The Burke will once again present the award-winners of this biennial juried competition that was initiated in 1997 by acclaimed local nature photographer, Art Wolfe. Up to 100 entries out of an anticipated pool of several thousand entries will be selected in a variety of competition categories. These photographs capture beautiful moments in the natural world, showcase the amazing abilities of environmental photographers, and raise awareness of conserving the world’s natural resources.

For the first time, the Burke and ICPA will also collaborate to create a traveling exhibit which will include the 25 first place winners.

Previous 2010 ICPA first place winner, Rhino in the mist. Kaziranga National Park, India.
