3 Weeks Left to Submit Your Bird Photos and Videos!

The entry period for the 2026 Audubon Photography Awards ends in three weeks on Wednesday, March 4, at 12 p.m. (noon) U.S. Eastern Time. There's still time for you to submit your best bird photos and videos for a chance to win if you haven't already.

This year, in addition to $5,000, the Grand Prize winners will each receive a voyage to Antarctica with HX Expeditions to combine birding, conservation, and exploration on a one-of-a-kind trip.

Winning photos and videos will be published in the Fall 2026 issue of Audubon magazine and on audubon.org. Youth entrants can also win a special prize: A trip to Hog Island Audubon Camp in Maine for an unforgettable summer experience. Combine your passion for birds and photography, and apply while you still can!

We are grateful to our generous sponsor for helping make this year's awards possible.

Your Northern Cardinal is waiting—claim yours today

Start an annual gift and receive a Northern Cardinal plush as a thank-you.
                                                               
Your Northern Cardinal is ready to brighten someone's day. Start your annual gift now to help protect the birds you love—and receive a Northern Cardinal plush as thanks.
Protect birds year-round this Valentines Day
Northern Cardinal.
Get your plush
 
KAREN, Valentine's Day has long been linked to birds—some scholars even suggest the holiday's February timing connects to birds' mating season. So this month, we're celebrating a feathered classic that feels like a love note in flight: the Northern Cardinal.

With its brilliant color, bold crest, and clear whistled song, the Northern Cardinal can brighten the coldest winter day—and it's beloved enough to be the official state bird of no fewer than seven eastern states. When you start an annual donation today, you'll power year-round work to protect cardinals and other birds—and we'll send a Northern Cardinal plush as a symbolic gift to you or a special someone in your life.
Birds urgently need the protection of people who care about them and are ready to help—people like you, KAREN. Last year's State of the Birds report warns that one-third of U.S. birds need conservation action, and that birds are telling us that the habitats people depend on are vanishing, with declines happening across habitats.

But thanks to support from generous people like you, there are real solutions to the crisis birds are facing. For 120 years and counting, we have preserved habitats, conducted scientific research, influenced policymakers to enact commonsense conservation laws, and engaged communities across the hemisphere to protect the natural resources upon which birds—and we—depend.

Please, KAREN, adopt a Northern Cardinal today and help protect the birds we love—this season and all year long.

With gratitude,

National Audubon Society
