COYOTE PHOTO CONTEST AIMS TO HELP END
WILDLIFE KILLING CONTESTS!

To emphasize how we can appreciate the intrinsic value of coyotes in nature without killing them for a trophy, Project Coyote has created a unique Coyote Photographing Contest in New Mexico. The contest will serve as a model for the nation—a family-friendly competition offering fun and prizes without the grotesque violence and suffering that wildlife killing contests promote.

NEW MEXICO RESIDENTS: SUBMIT YOUR COYOTE PHOTOS
AND SPREAD THE WORD!

Entry is free!
Coyote photographs may be taken anywhere, but the entrants for the coyote photographing contest must live in New Mexico. Entrants have until December 15, 2018, to submit their photographs to be eligible for cash and other awards–$250 for first place, $150 for second place, and $100 for third place in each category (Youth, Student, Amateur, Professional and Senior).
Contestants are invited to submit up to three of their favorite coyote images celebrating peaceful coexistence and the beauty of this remarkable indigenous species.
For an entry form, contact: [e-mail].

1. "COYOTE PHOTO CONTEST AIMS TO HELP END WILDLIFE KILLING CONTESTS! " Thank gawd...

I thought (at first) this was going to be another of those horrific 'celebrations' of a cowardly extermination hunt.
So glad to see I was wrong.

Most don't realize but coyotes are more native to the US/North America than even wolves. Yes, they have to be managed in urban locales, but they aren't the enemy. We are.

2. I agree 100%

I just recently read about coyotes being here since their beginnings 1 million years ago and wolves coming from Eurasia 20,000 years ago.
