We launched our second Photography Competition during National Insect Week 2008 and received 335 entries, almost all of very good quality, in the two main categories of Adult or Under-18 and in the bonus category of Best Riverfly Photograph.

The Competition was sponsored by the Environment Agency, and the additional Riverfly category was co-sponsored by the Riverfly Partnership. Our media partner was BBC Wildlife magazine.
