🏜️ Desert Wildlife Photo Contest
Presented by the Desert Wildlife Center
Submission Deadline: January 31, 2026
Do you have a knack for photographing wildlife? Or perhaps you experienced that right time, right place, rare opportunity to capture a moment in the life of a Monarch butterfly, Anna’s hummingbird, Rosy boa snake, or a bobcat trekking through a field at dawn with her cubs. Either way, we want to see your work! Enter our Desert Wildlife Center photo contest and share your favorite photos with us. Our panel of expert judges will be reviewing entries, narrowing the selection down to 20 of their favorites to display at the Rancho Mirage Library and Observatory. Check out the contest guidelines before submitting your photos.
Don’t have any photos to submit? It is the perfect time to get outside and experience the beauty and nature in the desert and see what is out there just waiting to be discovered through your lens. Photos accepted through January 31, 2026.
