World In Focus Contest 2007

National Geographic Traveler and Photo District News have announced World In Focus, the annual self-proclaimed "ultimate travel photography contest". The contest is open to amateurs and professionals, and there are 6 categories: Wilderness Photography, The Human Condition, Extreme Exploration, Urban Landscapes, Snapshots and Open Series.

Digital submissions can be made on-line, while color or black & white prints and/or transparencies are to be submitted to the National Geographic Traveler.

I'm surprised that one of the categories is Snapshots..the submissions have to be of "fun, quirky, unpredictable, spontaneous moments". Since the contest is open to amateurs, I suppose it's a good idea.

As always with these contests, all those interested ought to read the terms and conditions very carefully and decide whether they're willing to accept them. Both NGT and PDN are obviously reputable, but one can't be too careful.

Good luck! Here's the link.
