The Active Citizen project has begun vote for the best photographs of the capital's flora and fauna. Participants will determine the winners of the "Wildlife of Moscow" contest. Photos taken in the city depicting wild animals, plants or mushrooms were accepted.
Both professional photographers and amateurs aged six and over could participate. This year, 1,108 works were submitted to the photo contest, of which the jury selected 35 best. Active Citizens will choose 10 winners in four nominations, including Animal Portrait, Animal Behavior, Animals in the Environment, and Plant Life.
"Every year we see a growing love for the capital's nature. It is shared by both the residents themselves and photographers from all over the world. In 2025, 1,108 works from 191 participants were submitted to the "Wildlife of Moscow" nomination, each of which is an amazing look at the green world of the capital – from nimble squirrels in parks to rare birds on city water bodies. Last year, 895 works from 146 participants were submitted to the competition. In 2025, the number of applications increased by almost a quarter. Moscow is home to hundreds of species of animals and plants, and each photo helps residents to see and appreciate this amazing and at the same time very fragile world even better," noted
Julia Urozhaeva, head of the capital's Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection.
The winners of the competition will be announced on October 16 at the opening ceremony of the International Wildlife Festival "The Golden Turtle"Their works will be included in a large photo exhibition, and the authors will receive prizes.
