Hi Everyone,
I just thought that my fellow travellers would like to know about this:
Verge Magazine is holding a travel photography contest. It is free to enter and the grand prize is $1000. All Canadian residents are elgible to enter. If you are not a Canadian resident, you can still enter if you subscribe to the print or digital edition of the magazine.
The deadline is June 15
The website is www.vergemagazine.com/photochallenge
Good luck to all those who decide to enter!
I've pasted some of the information directly from the site below:
We know that you are travellers and that you believe in the concept of travel with
purpose. You’ve told us that the time you spent volunteering, working, or learning abroad
was life-changing. Now we want to see it through your lens—the fun times, the hard
times, the once-in-a-lifetimes.
The challenge? Help us see the world differently.
Show us a snippet of that life-changing journey, and tell us why it mattered. Give
us a picture of how you are making a difference—or show us the people, places and
experiences that are making a difference to you.
Categories for submissions are:
1. People
Photographs that tell a story about the people you've met on your travels, the social
interactions, the individuals, their lives and livelihoods and special moments you've
experienced that make a community unique.
2. Places
Show us the incredible landscapes, dark alleyways, crowded marketplaces, dusty plains,
chaotic urban scenes, stunning wilderness vistas - all the strange and special places
you've discovered on your travels.
3. Projects and issues
Meaningful travel involves learning about people and cultures around the world, their
traditions, ideas and issues they face. Show us the photographs you've taken that step
beyond the pictorial to tell a clear story about what you've discovered on your travels.
Tell us your story; change our perspective.
Prizes:
Grand Prize
The overall best in show will be awarded a prize of $1,000 Canadian.
