From tickets for a special wildlife film screening to certificates and goody bags – not to mention online promotion of film submissions – this prize bundle is pretty fantastic! In addition, the overall winner will walk away with a prestigious Panda Award, the ‘Green Oscar’ of the international wildlife film industry.
