Two days ago I was informed my Northern Hawk Owl has been selected by National Wildlife Federation to be featured for one of their Holidays / Christmas 2024 cards! I am already a financial donor and supporter of this fine organization. Full credit will be given to me on the back of the card. As a fyi, I almost never enter photography contests as they normally are just a grab by the sponsoring organization to get free images. However, with the NWF, not only was I already a donor, but I am thrilled to help them with their important work. Thus, last year I broke my own rule and entered their contest. in the fall later this year, I expect they will become available via the NWF’s online store.
Wow, congrats! You deserve it!
Congrat’s on the honor – beautiful photo!
Gorgeous!!
Congratulations and thanks for the information!

What a lovely recognition of your skill in photography. More impressive is how you are willing to bend your ‘rules’ to share that skill when a worthy organization is a beneficiary.
Congratulations.
Awesome, Rich

Yay Rich, congratulations! And it is about time as you know I have been asking you to submit to these contests for years. Good for you! I can’t wait to purchase their cards. Please let us know on your blog when they come out for sale.
