Contestants are nominated by scientists, photographers, and the public, then “presented” through immersive media. Contestants submit a portfolio of 5 to 10

    Perhaps the most important category. Contestants must provide proof of a completed conservation project. This could be planting 100 trees, organizing a river clean-up, or building a pollinator garden. The winner is often the contestant who mobilized the most volunteers.
