Tamron, maker of a wide range of SLR and DSLR lenses, has announced a new photography contest.  The second in a series of four contests they are hosting in 2010 this one’s theme is Backyard Wildlife.  As the theme suggests your entries must represent wildlife in y our local area in their natural environment.  No zoo, aquarium or otherwise non-native “captive” wildlife.  The contest runs from April 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010 and supports the National Wildlife Federation through a $0.25 donation per entry from Tamron.  The grand prize winner, determined by guest judge Jackie Bailey Labovitz, will receive their choice of the following lenses as well as some great exposure through Tamron’s website and Facebook fan page.

AF18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 VC Di-II
SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 Di-II VC
SP AF10-24mm F/3.5-4.5 Di-II or
SP AF60mm F/2 Di-II
