Submissions now open

Show what the nature in your neighbourhood means to you!

Teaming up with the West of England Combined Authority, we’re inviting young people aged 13 – 18 years old from Bath, North East Somerset, Bristol and South Gloucestershire to tell their nature stories in Summer 2024 through photographs and short films.

Share your passion for local nature for a chance to win some fantastic prizes – and have your work showcased on wildscreenark.org and at Wildscreen Festival, in Bristol.

There has never been a greater need for young people to feel connected to nature. Wildscreen ARK is an online nature education hub for young people, built to inspire curiosity about the natural world and empower them to protect it.

Wildscreen ARK will:

Make engaging educational nature content available to young people for free.
Support educators by offering trusted resources so they can teach about natural history and the environment with confidence.
Build routes into the filmmaking, media and conservation industries for young people, particularly those with different life experiences.
Continue the legacy of ARKive, the world’s leading audio-visual encyclopaedia of life on Earth.
