Every year, National Geographic holds the National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest, to which anyone can submit a photo. The winner will get an amazing prize: A 10 day expedition to the Galapagos islands for two! The contest is still open until June 30th, so if you think you have what it takes, you can submit as well on their site. The photos will be judged according to creativity and photographic quality.
