Patagon Journal announces the launch of its 3rd Patagonia Photo Contest. 

 

The contest is open to amateur or professional photographers, from any country, that are interested in contributing photographs of the incredible beauty of the Patagonia region of Chile and Argentina. 

 

You may submit photos from now until January 31, 2017. Each participant can present two images in each of the categories: Nature, Environment, Travel & Culture, Outdoor Sports, and Instagram. This year the Environment category is international, meaning we want to receive environmental photography depicting eco issues from anywhere on the planet. 

 

Our esteemed panel of judges includes three of the world's best photographers, each with extensive experience working in Patagonia: Celine Frers, Brian O’Keefe and Pablo Valenzuela.

 

Prizes
We also have fantastic prizes this year. The grand prize winner will receive a trip for 3 days and 2 nights with Chile Nativo to go trekking in winter in Torres del Paine National Park. They will also receive a stay at Hotel Remota in nearby Puerto Natales, and a trip on the Navimag cruise ship that travels along the southern Patagonia coast from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales. 

 

The 4 first place winners in each category will receive a gift card for use in the Patagonia stores of Chile. 

 

The winners of second place in the 4 categories will receive handmade sunglasses from Karün.

 

The Reader’s Choice award winner will receive courtesy of Tompkins Conservation a stay of 2 nights for 2 persons at their lodge in Valle Chacabuco of Patagonia Park. 

 

 

If you're passionate about photography and Patagonia, this is the moment to share you best photos and show your vision, love, and respect for one of the last, large expanses of pristine wild nature on Earth. 

 

"You only get one sunrise and one sunset a day, and you only get so many days on the planet. A good photographer does the math and doesn't waste either." - Galen Rowell
 

We look forward to seeing your photographs!
