Penrith is home to many beautiful animals and flora, and Council’s Penrith Wild Photo Competition celebrates what makes Penrith unique.

The competition is back for its sixth year!

To enter, all you have to do is take a photo of an animal or plant local to Penrith and enter the competition in one of the following ways:

ON INSTAGRAM: Post on Instagram including the hashtag #penrithwild, a brief description of what your photo is and where it was taken. Entries without #penrithwild hashtag and posted privately on accounts will not be considered entered. Accounts must be public for photos to be entered.
ON FACEBOOK: Post your photo as a reply to our photo competition posts on Facebook. Photos shared in posts that are not dedicated to the photo competition will not be considered entered.
VIA EMAIL: Email bushcare@penrith.city with the subject “Penrith Wild Photo Competition Entry” and a high-quality version of your photograph. Please provide a description of what you photographed and where you captured it.

All entrants will go into the draw for the chance to win one of 10 Nature Packs! All winners will be included in Bushcare’s 2028 Bushcare calendar.

Terms and conditions apply. The competition is open to all budding photographers and closes at 5pm on 1 February 2027. Find out more at https://www.penrithcity.nsw.gov.au/waste-environment/environment/bushland/things-to-do
