Photos (submitted via our website) will be required for eligibility (professional photography not required). Anyone involved in the London Pollinator project is not eligible for prizes. For 'Best London bee-friendly garden photo' and 'Best QMUL tagged bee on a London flower photo' only one photo submission allowed per person and only London postcodes are eligible for prizes.
For 'Most tagged bees spotted', repeated sightings of the same bee do not count towards total number of bees spotted. We do encourage each and every tagged bee you spot to be recorded via our website. Sightings will be validated by comparing them to the times those bees leave and return to their hives (recorded at QMUL). Judging will be done by the Sensory and Behavioral Ecology Lab Team.
Contest runs from June 21, 2016 to August 21, 2016. Winners will be announced by September 7, 2016.
