10 Winners From 2015 National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest
Have travel photographs? Then see how they stack up against National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest 2015 winners. Three lucky ones were chosen out of 18.000 submissions. The first place winner Anuar Patjane with his black-and-white photo “Whale Whisperers” gets to take home an eight-day “National Geographic Photo Expedition: Costa Rica and the Panama Canal” with airfare for two. The other prizes are also both travel and photography related, and just being mentioned as a notable is a great honor.
The 2015 contest ran between April 7th and July 30th. Anyone could submit a picture that’s no more than two years old, not excessively processed, and hasn’t won a National Geographic prize before. All the submissions have to be sent in a digital format, which means that next year, you’ll be able to submit your entry wherever you are!
