The Remembering Elephants initiative is a wonderful collaboration by 50 of the worlds best wildlife photographers who have come together to create a timeless book in celebration of elephants to raise funds for anti-poaching throughout Africa.

The project has been brought together by its founder Margot Raggett in association with the born-free foundation.

It was launched through a hugely successful kickstarter campaign earlier this year which has already raised a staggering £60,000 for the project.

They are now running a competition open to all photographers whether amateur or professional which will ultimately see another 10 images selected to be included alongside those of the 50 photographers already involved, which includes the likes of Greg du Toit – Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2013.

We are looking for images of wild African elephants in order for us to help tell the story of their lives – from birth through to old age, illustrated with as many different types of behaviour as possible.

Entry to the competition will be $7.50 per photograph, and there is no limit to the number of images you can enter. Funds raised through this competition will all be added to the project for the benefit of the anti-poaching initiatives.

Entries close at Midnight GMT on the 3rd January 2016

The judges of the competition are Keith Wilson, editor of Wild Planet Photo Magazine and also editor of ‘Remembering Elephants; Margot Raggett, wildlife photographer and the founder of the Remembering Elephants project; Greg du Toit, Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2013, a professional fine art wildlife photographer and safari guide who has photographed some of Africa’s wildest, remotest and largest ecosystems and David Lloyd, wildlife photographer and two times finalist of wildlife photographer of the year.
