Louisville Zoo and WAVE 3 team up for digital online photo contest

Besides capturing wonderful family memories, taking photos at the Louisville Zoo could now win you some fun prizes!

WAVE 3 TV and the Louisville Zoo have teamed up for a digital online photography contest that runs until Aug. 17. One winner (chosen by representatives of WAVE 3) per week will receive two Louisville Zoo admission passes and one $25 dining certificate to any Max & Erma’s Restaurants.

To enter all you need to do is take a great photo at the Louisville Zoo. You might consider heading out to get photos of our adorable babies (new Addax babies, siamang babies or baby elephant Scotty) or some close-up photos of our magnificent Amur tiger at the Alice S. Etscorn Tiger Tundra exhibit.
