Images Showcasing Popular Destinations Visited
Every Friday, the National Geographic Your Shot community invites photographers worldwide to share their travel photos on Facebook, tagged with #travelshot [1]. This platform offers an opportunity for photographers to showcase their work and potentially be considered for publication by National Geographic.
To submit your travel photos, follow these steps:
- Select your best photos that tell a compelling story or capture a memorable moment or place.
- Write a meaningful caption or photo essay that provides context, explains the subject, and highlights the significance of your photos.
- Submit your photos through National Geographic's official Your Shot platform or related submission portals, which can be found on their website or community page [2].
To increase your chances of selection, consider photographic storytelling tips such as capturing a variety of angles, environmental portraits, and providing narrative context [1].
Once submitted, your photos may appear in the magazine, online galleries, or the blog [3]. They may also be showcased on the platform, inspiring others to plan their future trips.
If you prefer, you can upload your photos directly to ngm.com/yourshot for the Travel section [4]. Alternatively, your photos can be found in the community galleries on the website or the blog [5].
Join the National Geographic Your Shot/Travel community today and share your travel photography for editorial consideration. Don't forget to tag your submissions with #travelshot [6].
