Why We Created the Animal Sighting Submission & Giveaway
At WorldDeer.org, we believe that every animal sighting is a special moment worth sharing. Whether it’s a majestic deer in the early morning mist, a rare bird perched in your backyard, or a fox crossing a snowy path, these encounters connect us to nature in ways that feel almost magical. But what’s even more amazing is how different these experiences can be depending on where you live.
For some, seeing a white-tailed deer is a common, everyday occurrence—but for others around the world, that same deer may only be something they’ve read about or seen in a zoo. The same goes for animals like elk, moose, bobcats, and even certain birds. What seems ordinary to one person could be a once-in-a-lifetime sighting for someone else across the globe.
That’s why we created this Animal Sighting Submission Project. It’s not just about entering to win a prize (though, let’s be honest, $600 on Amazon is pretty great!). It’s about sharing the beauty of wildlife with people everywhere—whether it’s your neighbor or someone thousands of miles away who’s never had the chance to see that animal in the wild.
A Global Wildlife Snapshot
By submitting your photos and descriptions, you’re contributing to a worldwide collection of animal sightings—a place where people can explore, learn, and appreciate the diverse wildlife found across different regions. Imagine someone in a big city seeing your photo of a wild elk in the mountains, or a traveler in another country marveling at the backyard foxes you barely notice anymore.
Every sighting tells a story, and your contribution helps bring those stories to life. It’s a way to connect nature lovers, inspire curiosity, and celebrate the beauty of wildlife from every corner of the world.
Your Photos, Your Impact
This project is also about raising awareness of local wildlife and conservation. Many people don’t realize the incredible creatures that live right outside their doorstep. By sharing your sighting, you’re not only showcasing the animals in your area but also reminding others to appreciate and protect them.
And who knows? Maybe your submission will inspire someone to take their first wildlife hike, join a conservation effort, or simply pay more attention to the natural world around them.
Let’s Make This a Global Wildlife Archive
We invite you to be part of this movement. Whether it’s an everyday sighting or a rare moment, your contribution adds to a growing collection that connects people across the world through the wonder of nature.
So grab your camera, head outside, and start looking—you never know what amazing wildlife you’ll find. And when you do, share it with us!
🌎 Together, we can create a worldwide window into the beauty of nature. 🌿✨
