PLANET Magazine is pleased to announce our 4th annual Global Travel Photo Contest, with another esteemed panel of judges and larger and better prizes than ever before!
Two Grand Prize winners — one for General Travel and one for Portrait — will each win the ultimate Grand Prize: A round-the-world ticket (or $1500 cash), with a minimum 12-image portfolio from your trip to be published upon your return. Two runners-up in each category will receive a liveBooks preDesigned website or $500 toward a custom designed website. If you are an existing liveBooks customer you can apply the $500 towards upgrades. Fourth place winners will receive a Canon G12 and a portfolio of their work published in PLANET in 2012; and all runner-ups (5th through 10th place) will receive a coffee table photography book courtesy of Steidl or Gestaltan. Best of all, and entirely new this year, all top 10 finalists in each category will have the opportunity to have their image shown in a special gallery exhibit and opening event at New York City’s Clic Gallery in Soho. Clic is one of the top galleries in the city representing both emerging and established photographers, so this is a truly special opportunity to have your work seen, and for sale, at an influential Manhattan gallery. This is an expansion off of last year’s addition to the contest of working with a PLANET editor to create a limited-edition of your image and sell it on our online gallery, establishing you with an audience of photo collectors and earning you money for your work. Which will also be included in this year’s package, making this the best contest package we’ve ever put together, so read on for all the details….
