Those of us with children may often worry about our kids being on their phones all the time. However, as the Wildscreen Youth Nature Photo Competition<\/a> highlights, this isn’t always as bad as it sounds.<\/p>\n

The competition, open to young people aged between 13 and 18, encourages the use of smartphone photography<\/a> as a way to get kids to spend more time in nature and express their creative side. It also shows how wildlife photography doesn’t always need to involve expensive equipment \u2013 a smartphone and a good eye is all that is required.<\/p>\n

The winning image from this year’s competition was ‘Sawfly snack attack’ by Leah from Bristol, UK. Her delicate portrait of a hazel sawfly larvae was chosen from a whole host of stunning images that were submitted.<\/p>\n

The Wildscreen Youth Nature Photo Competition forms part of Wildscreen ARK<\/a>, an online education and storytelling hub designed to inspire young people to connect with nature through photography, film and digital content.<\/p>\n
