EXPLAINING THE THEME OF THE TRAVEL PHOTO AWARDS
This travel photo contest by NAT PHOTO SOCIETY is a broad umbrella of creative freedom where you can explore the theme to your best camera capacity. We don’t need photographers to go on extensive voyages, but we want you to be on a journey to anywhere your heart desires.
These photos for travel can come from any and every journey you have ever taken irrespective of the distance or the path. You can share travel photographs of the buildings you came across, exotic animals that made you smile, the familiar strangers you met on your way, or even the food that filled your heart with warmth and reminded you of home. We would love to see the flowers that you found on your way, the hills you hiked on, the waters you snorkeled in, and the vehicles that took you to places. As long as you think it was a memory worth cherishing, do not shy away from sharing the trip’s photos with us.
