Enter National Geographic Traveler's Photo Contest

Have you noticed that we feature beautiful, compelling photographs here on Chicagoist? That's largely thanks to our Flickr pool contributors, who share their shots of our fair city. That's why we want to make sure you know about National Geographic Traveler's photo contest.

The photography contest is split into four categories: Outdoor Scenes, Sense of Place, Travel Portraits and Spontaneous Moments. The winning photographer will win a Galapagos Photography Expedition. The deadline to submit your photo is July 11. The entry fee increases by $10 starting tomorrow, so hit them with your best shot today.

Check out some of the photos submitted and vote for your favorite. And if you decide to enter one of your own shots, be sure to tell us in the comments, so we can support your entry.
