You still have time to enter the 2009 Isle of Wight Photographer of the Year competition in which the IW Biodiversity partnership are supporting the category 'It's a very small world: Go Wild on Wight'

If you are looking for inspiration it seems you have to look no further than your back garden click here to view some amazing bat snaps.

‘It’s a very Small World - Go Wild on Wight’ - make the everyday extraordinary. Get intimate with wildlife and bring the natural world that little bit closer to home. Using your skills, celebrate our Island’s biodiversity by exploring your local patch and uncovering nature’s hidden or little known treasures.

Three winning entries will be selected in November 2009 from both categories. There are some great wildlife-themed prizes up for grabs in ‘It’s a Very Small World - Go Wild on Wight’ kindly donated by the National Trust, Wildlife Trust and Gift to Nature.

Shortlisted entries will embark on a travelling exhibition in 2010 and you will be able to enjoy the photographs at various locations including Island public libraries, Newport Minster Church and Ventnor Botanic Gardens.

So get snapping and upload your entries at www.iwpoy.org
