National Geographic Traveler Magazine: 2012 Photo Contest
The 24th annual National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest is in full swing. The entry
deadline has been extended until July 11. The four categories include:
Travel Portraits; Outdoor Scenes; Sense of Place and Spontaneous
Moments. Last year's contest drew nearly 13,000 images from all over
the world. The pictures are as diverse as their authors, capturing an
assortment of people, places and wildlife - everything that makes
traveling so memorable, evoking a sense of delight and discovery. The
following post includes a small sampling of the entrant's work, taken
from the editor's picks in each of the categories. (The captions are
written by the entrants, some slightly corrected for readability.) And
for fun, take a look back at the winners from 2011 at National
Geographic Traveler. -- Paula Nelson (54 photos total)
