How to Enter the Micato Photo Contest

Who can enter?

Any guest who has travelled with Micato Safaris in Africa or India.

What are the details?

Travellers can submit as many photos as they’d like each month in four separate categories: People, Places, Wildlife, and Only Micato Moments. Only photos taken on an African Safari or Indian Journey with Micato are eligible, and we can only accept digital photos received via our online form which you can access by using the Enter Contest button at the bottom of this page. Each entry should be sent as a jpeg between 1MB and 5 MB in size – we regret that any photos not sent in the correct format and size cannot be accepted. In addition, any photos that have been digitally altered will not be accepted.

What should I include with my submission?

Please include the following information with each photo: your name, when you travelled and the name of your safari. You’re encouraged to send a brief description of the photograph and “the moment” captured when taking it.

And the prizes are…

Spectacular! At the end of the year, three top winners will be awarded a cash prize and a credit that can be used towards a Micato African Safari or India Journey. The credit also may be applied to purchases in the Micato Safari Shop.

Grand Prize: $2,500 cash and $3,000 credit
Second Prize: $1,500 cash and $2,000 credit
Third Prize: $1,000 cash and $1,000 credit

An additional nine honourable mentions will be awarded a $250 gift card from Micato Safaris.

Failure to sign this document will eliminate a winner’s entitlement to receive the prize. A winner’s acceptance of a prize shall be good and sufficient consideration for the provision of the registration forms and Terms and Conditions to Micato by the prizewinner and his/her travelling companion(s).
