Contest Rules

We’re interested in photos highlighting Earth’s natural beauty, showcasing different cultures, and capturing flora and fauna in their natural habitats.

Submit your photos by World Population Day on Thursday, July 11, 2024.
You must own full rights to any photographs that you submit. General photos of people in public spaces do not need to have photo releases. If you’re featuring a portrait of a person, family, or small group, though, in which their personal features are easily recognizable, then photo releases must be obtained.
Your submission permits us to distribute the image across our various media platforms. We cannot be held responsible for the misuse of your photo by a third party. If this is a concern, we encourage you to copyright your image with a watermark (small and not covering important parts of the image, please!) to establish ownership.
