What juries look for in travel photography
- Respectful pictures of people and cultures.
- A sense of place that could not be anywhere else.
- Captions that add knowledge, not clichés.
How to prepare your entry
Note names and places as you shoot. Accurate captions make a travel picture credible and help you meet release requirements later.
Before you pay a fee
Tourism board contests can ask for wide usage rights in exchange for the prize. Make sure the prize is worth what you give.
Every listing on Photographers First shows the deadline in your time zone, the fee in your currency, the prize as stated by the organizer, and a direct link to the official rules. Pro members also get advanced filters by fee, prize and country, unlimited saved contests, and an entry tracker for deadlines and spending. See what Pro adds.
