Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo Hosts First Zoo Photography Exhibition

Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo is proud to announce its first non-juried photography exhibition, with nearly 200 photos submitted from the Zoo’s many dedicated amateur and professional photographers for public viewing. Photos will be exhibited on Thursday, July 25 in the Zoo’s Hanson Building from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

The festive evening will include an introduction of the judges, announcements of first, second, third place winners as well as a People’s Choice Award, and a raffle for a Tamron Zoom lens with a value of $600. Winners will be announced that evening. The public is invited.

Photographers were invited to submit up to three photos of animals from Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo, from current or previous years. Judges are Patrick Comins, executive director of the Connecticut Audubon Society; Jesse Thompson, co-owner of Milford Photo; and Roger Salls, owner of Roger Salls Photography.

Photography Exhibition sponsor Milford Photo is providing the first, second, and third prizes in the form of gift certificates to the store. First prize is $200, second prize is $100, and third prize is $50.

In addition to the judged photos, a People’s Choice will be selected. The general public can vote on their favorite that evening by making a one-dollar donation for each vote. Photos can be purchased that evening, or from the Zoo Gift Shop following the event, with a portion of the proceeds going to support the Zoo.
