Does watching animal features on television fire up your imagination? Do you have the burning desire to shoot wildlife films? If you are over 18 years of age and dream of capturing nature’s raw beauty on film, Animal Planet is providing the opportunity through its contest Unearthed.
Through this unique audio-visual project, the TV channel is going to zero in on the next great wildlife filmmaker.
