2016 Python Challenge

We are less than two months away from the start of the 2016 Python ChallengeTM!

This month-long invasive species awareness campaign will again include a public competition to remove nonnative Burmese pythons from public lands in Florida. This year, expanded participating areas have more than doubled the lands where participants can search for and remove pythons.

Are you up for the Challenge? Register for the Python Removal Competition and compete to see if you can harvest the longest or the most Burmese pythons and win grand prizes of $5,000 in the team category and $3,500 in the individual category. 

We are providing frequent hands-on training for people who want to learn more about how to capture pythons, both before and during the event. The 2016 Python Challenge™ will kick off at the Invasive Species Awareness Festival on Jan. 16, 2016, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.  Details about trainings, competition rules and registration, prizes and events are posted at PythonChallenge.org.

If you want to take part in the 2016 Python ChallengeTM but aren’t interested in the snake removal competition, you can compete in one of our online contests. Learn more at PythonChallenge.org/Participate.

Remember - you can help conserve the Everglades, one of our national treasures. Join the 2016 Python ChallengeTM!
