BHARATPUR, India - Oct. 29, 2024 - PRLog -- Season 10 of Wild Clicks - India's Only Live Wildlife Photo Contest - has been announced  to be help in Keoladeo National Park in Bharatpur (Rajasthan, India) from Jan 25-29,  2025. This unique event is expected to garner a participation of 100 contestants from across the country who would be given 4 days to work on a photo story titled Wetland Wonders and in addition to this they can submit their images in 3 individual categories - Monochromes in Nature, Wings in Action and Poetry in Nature.

Wild Clicks started in 2010 as India's first Live Photo contest in Corbett National Park and since then this contest has travelled to various forests of India including Kanha, Pench, Satpura, Ranthambore, Rann of Kutch, Dudhwa and Panna.

Shivang Mehta, Author, Wildlife Photographer, Sony Ambassador and creator of this event says "Luck plays a huge role in wildlife photography and traditionally in online competitions luck and natural history at times empowers the creative element of photography. Wild Clicks honors and rewards creativity as all contestants are on an equal level playing field for those days.

"India is a country full of fascinating stories and the objective of Wild Clicks is also to promote the culture of storytelling amongst photographers. Creating a photo story in 4 days is more like an assignment for the contestant and the amount of research and homework a photographer puts on the theme before the contest starts becomes a vital element for the contestant" adds Mehta.
