National Geographic Kids and Adults Photography Contests!

National Geographic has yearly photography contests for adults and kids. It's a great time of year for everyone to get outside in the fresh air, with digital cams, to look for interesting subjects to photograph. Share these sites with your students. 


Autumn in New England, where I live, is spectacular! The country roads are tunnels of splashy colors! Crimsons, purples, yellows and yes, some blue hues! I have my digital cam with me at all times to try and catch the perfect sugar maple dressed up in its stunning red leafy cape.


The deadline for the kids' contest is October 31, 2011. 
Categories (kids) are: Animals, Scenery, People, and Humor
An 11 year old girl from Greece won the kids' contest last year. You'll see her photo from the category "People" on the website. Many prizes are given for all categories.
