The 2nd Patagonia Photo Contest was a resounding success. Thanks to everyone who participated! We received over 2200 photos from worldwide, more than twice the photos of last year and making it doubly tough to decide the finalists among so many fantastic images.
The Patagon Journal team has selected 10 finalists in the four categories: nature, environment, travel & culture, and outdoor sports. Now, our all-star panel of judges will begin its deliberations on deciding the overall winner, first and second place winners per category, and honorable mentions.
The overall winner will receive 3 nights for two persons with Cruceros Australis to explore the southern fjords and channels of Patagonia. The 4 first place category winners receive a gift certificate to the Patagonia stores in Santiago. All first and second place images will be featured in an upcoming edition of the magazine; printed for display in expositions in Santiago and elsewhere; and will receive a subscription to the magazine.
But let our judges know what you think! From now until midnight, May 31, you can vote for your favorite among the 40 finalists. The photo with the most "Likes" will receive the Readers Choice Award and its prize of 2 nights for two persons at the Mitico Puelo Lodge and Tagua Tagua Park.
We’re also making available the entire gallery of photos. There were so many outstanding photos, we encourage you to check them out!
In early June, we will announce all of the winners.
