The National Wildlife Federation, along with its prestigious children’s publication, Ranger Rick magazine are delighted to announce the five most recent winners in Ranger Rick magazine’s "Your Best Shots" photo contest. This special honor is given to young photographers who best capture original, inspiring and truly extraordinary photos of wildlife, landscapes or both.

The winning images were selected by a panel of judges for their exceptional content out of thousands of entries submitted from across the nation. The five photographs will be featured in the December/January 2016 issue of Ranger Rick magazine.

"We always aim to instill a passion for nature and promote outdoor activity in our magazines and organization, the winning photographers are helping us fulfill that mission."
