Submitting Travel Photos to National Geographic's Your Shot Community
If you're a photographer with a passion for travel and a knack for capturing stunning images, National Geographic's Your Shot community might be the perfect platform for you. Here's a simple guide on how to submit your travel photos.
First, head over to ngm.com/yourshot to join the community. Once you've created a free account, you can start uploading your high-quality travel photographs.
To ensure your photos are considered for publication in National Geographic Magazine or for inclusion in community galleries, it's essential to tag them with #travelshot. This tag helps editors and curators find your images easily.
Engaging with the community can also increase the visibility of your submissions. Share your photos, comment on others' work, and participate in discussions to make your presence known.
After uploading and tagging your photos, all you need to do is wait. National Geographic editors will review submissions tagged with #travelshot and curate images that meet their editorial standards and align with their interests.
Selected photographs may appear in the magazine, on National Geographic’s website, or in curated community galleries. They might even end up on the back page of the magazine, in community galleries, or on the blog.
For the most accurate and detailed submission guidelines, including photo specifications, deadlines, and editorial considerations, it's recommended to visit National Geographic Your Shot directly.
While this guide isn't a step-by-step process from the National Geographic site itself, it aligns with the typical community submission practices widely recognized by photographers aiming to be published there.
