National Geographic Traveller (UK)
CATEGORIES
FOOD & TRAVEL
This category calls for images that tell a story from any stage of the journey from field to fork. Think dynamic scenes of fishing, farming or harvest, rich shots of bustling street food markets and images of chefs in steamy kitchens.
PEOPLE
Travel portraiture means seeking out the human stories within a destination. It requires a compelling subject and an interesting backdrop in which to frame them. Plus, a little serendipity.
URBAN ENVIRONMENTS
Your composition should capture something of the spirit of a city or town, be it figures moving amid striking architecture, moments of happenstance in a public square, or bold neon signs lighting up the night.
LANDSCAPE
From vast, panoramic vistas to drone shots that capture the patterns of a terrain, this category is all about offering unusual perspectives on the world around us. Shots should be executed with flair, creativity and technique.
WILDLIFE
Witnessing animals in the wild is one of the great joys of travel, but, as subjects, they certainly don’t play by our rules. This category calls for outstanding shots of creatures great and small.
PORTFOLIO
Whether it’s Holi Festival in Kerala or surf culture in Devon, your portfolio of up to 10 images of a single destination will tease out different facets of a narrative to create a nuanced and cohesive portrait of the place.
