National Geographic International Photography Contest 2009
The prize? There are two in fact. A camera – not any camera, of course, but a Leica one. The winning image will also be published in the magazine.
Unfortunately, you’ll need to pay $22 dollars per each single submission, I guess they’re doing it to eliminate the really bad and random pictures, but still, that’s quite a lot to pay for the privilege.
Even if you don’t want to submit your images, the site is worth a peek. Some stunning images there and you can also see the past winners.
