Impacts such as the illegal
Impacts such as the illegal setting of traps in rivers affect animals such as the Australian platypus, along with lack of awareness each year an average of two to five Australians lose their lives to what is presumed a safe creature. The key is understanding of Australia's diverse wildlife and fauna; what seems safe is often deadly. Thanks.

Art Competition 2011
Hello there.
Many thanks for submitting your questions. I must apologise, as through a technical error no message notifications were getting through for this page. However, I will do my utmost to answer your questions.
If you are a non-UK based artist you must enter the International Artists category, which will be judged digitally.
The medium is how the art was made- for example:, watercolours, charcoal, mixed media.
If you encounter an error message, it is likely that the image is too big. Please resize the image so that it is up to 1MB.
If you have any further queries please email the main address at the top of the art competition page.
I hope that has helped with your questions. Apologies again for any inconvenience caused and best of luck with the competition.
Kind regards,
Heather

I am a international artist...
and I didn't found what is the exactly theme!!
british nature?!?!
british animals!?
I don't know...

thanks!
Don't you answer the posted questions?
I have asked a question through this question or comment area as have others but there do not appear to be any answers!
Do you ever answer the question?
The deadline for entry is approaching and I will not enter without having the questions answered.
I find this so odd since the BBC is a communications medium.
International Artist
I am an international artist thinking of entering the BBC Wildlife artist of the Year Exhibit this year. Since the international artist are juried on digital images only:
* Does the work have to be for sale?
* Does the work have to be available for actual
exhibit in the UK?
* Is the work eligible for the top prize in the
exhibit?
Thank you for your help.
