Silent Auction Items Needed!

 We need your help in rounding up some awesome treasures for our annual silent auction. Hosting a silent auction at our meeting is one of the ways we support meeting costs, presentation awards, travel grants, and other organization action items. Please help us with this event by dropping items donated at the registration table when you arrive onsite. We can't wait for another fun event!

You can submit your nomination for the Conservation Hero Award by clicking here. The deadline has been extended until further notice.

The SEPARC Annual Photo Contest will occur during each annual meeting with final judging and announcement of winners at the award ceremony on Saturday, the last full day of the meeting. 

Categories: 

There will be two categories, 1) Amphibians and 2) Reptiles. Photos can be of animal subjects in their natural habitat, portraits of species in captive environments, and species and people engaged in conservation, outreach, and/or research-related activities. Additionally, please ensure that the image was obtained ethically (i.e. permits required to interact with the animal were available and the animal was not placed under undue stress for the photo).
