Call for Entries for Nature Photographers from The African Wildlife Foundation and Nature’s Best Photography
All nature photographers are invited to enter photos and videos made on the continent of Africa, including Madagascar and offshore island groups.

This 2nd annual Benjamin Mkapa African Wildlife Photography Awards is named to honor the late H.E. Benjamin Mkapa (1938-2020). One of Africa’s most beloved leaders, His Excellency Benjamin Mkapa was President of Tanzania from 1995 to 2005 and was AWF’s longest-serving trustee. Mkapa began his career as a journalist and was widely respected for his legacy of protecting Africa’s wild heritage. This awards program recognizes his leadership in conservation, education, and his passionate support for AWF programs.
The call for entries results will be revealed on October 27, 2022, at an exhibition in Nairobi National Museum, Kenya.
