Maybe you already know the 2010 Arizona Wildlife Calendar will feature winners of our annual wildlife photo contest. And maybe you’re aware the contest deadline is coming up soon — it’s July 6 at 5 p.m. MST (and no, postmarks don’t count).

But here’s something we bet you didn’t know: The top photographer will walk away with a $400 prize. That’s the cash reward for submitting the “best in show” photograph of Arizona’s amazing wildlife. The prize for first place isn’t bad, either: It’s $250.

So if you’ve been madly clicking away to capture great wildlife photographs for the contest, don’t delay: The deadline is almost here. There is no entry fee, and you just might win $400!
