The Borneo Bird Festival 2024 is filled with many contests and activities, and those visiting this year should pay close attention to some of these contests. Namely, if you are a bird photographer or birdwatcher, there are several different contests that you can join.
Borneo Bird Festival 2024 – Contests
However, it would be best to hurry, as some of these contests close a week before the event. I recommend looking at the posters below to see which interests you. And if you are visiting with your family, several contests are ongoing during the Borneo Bird Festival weekend at the RDC.
For those who are into wildlife and bird photography, including video, you may want to look at the poster below, as there are some amazing prizes up for grabs.
Many birders and photographers from Semenanjung Malaysia always procrastinate on attending the bird festival, often citing no friends or just not up for it. Then they find out about the contests or prizes being offered, but it’s too late to buy tickets or book rooms.
Hence, Birdwatching Asia has been promoting the Borneo Bird Festival through our site and social media since early in the year. Still, many people take things for granted and miss this excellent opportunity to join the contest and a chance to win fantastic prizes.
This year, the highlight is the bird and wildlife photography and video contests, where a whopping RM65,000 worth of prizes and cash are up for grabs! Never have we seen such a pool of amazing prizes being given out for a bird and wildlife contest.
Apart from the main contests of photography and videography, there are also many other at-event contests, as the posters below show.
