Know, make known, protect, love… birds
These are the goals of Natagora's "AVES Expos" Working Group. We want these goals to underpin our entire competition. This is why we want the values of respect and protection of the photographed species to be at the center of photographers' concerns.
With over 3,000 competing photos submitted each year by hundreds of photographers worldwide, the Emotion'Ailes exhibition has become one of the most well-known and sought-after international competitions to date. Whether amateurs or established professionals, the biggest names in wildlife photography are represented each year among the hundred or so photos selected.
Each exhibition features 80 photographs. Each category features a winning photo, a runner-up, and a series of high-quality images. The overall winner of the competition is also awarded the Jury Prize for the year.
