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! The contest is divided into two categories. They are: General Travel and Portrait.

There’s no need to specify your category; our editorial team will place your image in the category that best fits and then present the two categories to our judges. A grand-prize winner and nine runner-ups will be selected from each category.

PLANET’s photo contest offers photographers from around the world a unique opportunity to share their vision of travel, life, people, and sub-culture with our top editors and a distinguished panel of judges culled from the highest levels of New York’s international photography community.

Our ongoing theme is ‘Many Worlds, One Planet’, and we’d like to ask photographers to not only capture defining images of a particular place but to also consider the people, lifestyles, and subcultures of the places they document; a powerful portrait or image of a gathering can equally reveal the depth and mystery of the travel experience.
