Do you have photo skills?
Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego is celebrating the first anniversary of the Beyster Family Little Blue Penguins with a photo contest.
Starting Friday, the community is invited to post their favorite photo taken in the aquarium’s newest (and cutest) exhibit.
To enter, post a picture on either Instagram or Facebook, tag Birch Aquarium, use #BirchPenguinPhoto, and tell the aquarium why you chose that photo in the caption.
The contest closes on July 2, 2023. Photo suggestions include family selfies, a picture of your favorite Little Blue Penguin, or simply a favorite memory in the exhibit.
Note, entrants must be legal residents of the United States and at least 18 years old at the time of entry.
Birch Aquarium staff and volunteers will select five (5) winning photos. These five photos will be posted onthe official Birch Aquarium social media accounts on July 12 and displayed in Beyster Family Little Blue Penguins from July 12-31, 2023.
Each account that posted a winning photo will receive 2 general admission tickets to the aquarium. Official rules, terms and conditions are found on the aquarium’s website.
Beyster Family Little Blue Penguins opened on July 12, 2022. This exhibit follows Little Blue Penguins on their journey from hatchlings to adults, highlighting the challenges they face in a changing climate while celebrating the features that make these penguins so unique and adorable. Birch Aquarium is the only place on the West Coast where you can find Little Blue Penguins.
