Seeing Spots Photo Challenge

To celebrate the opening of Leopard Forest on Friday, June 20, we're launching the Seeing Spots Challenge. A photo contest inspired by one of nature’s rarest cats. Show off your boldest patterns, just like the critically endangered Amur leopard, and snap a photo on Zoo grounds.

Whether you're exploring the trails, visiting your favorite animals, or enjoying the view, it's a simple way to get involved in the excitement leading up to the debut of this immersive new exhibit. Participants will automatically be entered for the chance to win a free Zoo membership, just for showing up in style!

How to Enter

  • Wear Leopard Print: Dress up in your best leopard print gear (clothing, accessories, face paint, etc.).
  • Snap a Photo: Take a photo on Zoo grounds, this could be near an animal exhibit, with zoo staff or in any fun spot that inspires you!
  • Tag the Zoo: Post the photo on Instagram or Facebook, tagging the Nashville Zoo.
  • Use the Hashtag: Add the hashtag #LeopardForestComingSoon to your post.

The prize: One lucky participant will be randomly chosen to receive a Zoo membership (Nashville Zoo members may use the voucher to renew their membership). The winner will be contacted on opening day with directions on how to redeem their prize.

Become a volunteer!
