MKAPA AFRICAN WILDLIFE AWARDS COMPETITION & TRAVELING EXHIBITION
The Benjamin Mkapa African Wildlife Photography Awards was a wonderful two-year program run in alliance with the African Wildlife Foundation that involved spectacular exhibitions and events in Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, the UK, China, and Canada. A selection of prints and videos from this impressive collection also toured the USA. The first showing ran from April 26 - June 4, 2023 at the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach, Florida. The second display was hosted by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County from July - Oct. 9, 2023. The exhibition was then on display at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming from Nov. 2023 - April 21, 2024. The final showing was open June 5 - August 30, 2024, at the Hurleyville Performing Arts Centre in Hurleyville, New York.
