Dazzling pictures from National Geographic photo contest
(VOV) -National Geographic is world-famous for presenting audiences with spellbinding images and each year the publication makes a call to the public to share snaps of their own.
The National Geographic Photo Contest is currently underway and will be accepting submissions through November 16. For a US$15 entry fee, contestants can enter a digital image in one or all the categories of People, Places, and Nature.
The grand-prize winning photographer of this year's contest will get his or her picture published in the magazine, US$10,000 and a trip to visit National Geographic headquarters in Washington, DC to attend the society's annual photography seminar this coming January.
