National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest 2016

National Geographic is still accepting entries for their 2016 Travel Photographer of the Year Contest.

The prestigious competition gives travel photographers around the world to showcase their work and share their travel experiences.

National Geographic is asking for photos that 'tell a story of a place or reveal insights about what inspires you when you travel'.

The contest is accepting entries until May 27. The winner will earn the prestigious title and also receive a seven-day Polar Bear Photo Safari for two at Churchill Wild–Seal River Heritage Lodge, a National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World.
