Expose Shell's real wildlife impact

Submit a photo to the Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.

The competition, jointly organised by the Natural History Museum and BBC Wildlife Magazine, attracts stunning images of the natural world.

But Shell's operations have huge impacts on wildlife around the world.

These impacts need to be exposed so that Shell cannot continue to construct an undeserved green image through this sponsorship.

Help expose Shell by submitting a photo to the competition under the "One Earth Award" category.

This category includes images about our impact on the natural environment.

Your photo should ideally be about Shell's or the oil and gas industry's impact on the environment.

How to submit a photo

Go to the Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year website.

Register for the competition and submit your digital entries online.

The closing date for online entry is Friday 30 March 2007.

Dont forget to email us a copy of your photo if you would like us to use it in our campaign.
