THEME:  “Travel Memories.” The most precious things we bring home from our travels aren’t objects we’ve collected but memories of places, events, people, and experiences—and photographs that crystallize those memories and make them visible for sharing. The editors of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TRAVELER invite readers to send in their favorite travel images that capture such memories.

WHO MAY ENTER:  All readers of TRAVELER, except professional photographers and National Geographic Society employees and their families.

MEDIUM:  Color prints or 35mm color transparencies only. For color prints, the original color negative (or color transparency, if the print was made from a transparency) must be available so winners’ pictures can be published.

SPECIFICATIONS:  Color transparencies must be mounted in standard 2x2-inch cardboard or plastic slide mounts. Color prints may be any size up to 8x10 inches. No glass mounts or framed photographs will be accepted.

ENTRIES:  To qualify, photographs submitted must have been made in 1996 or 1997 and must not have been published. Entries should include a model release for any recognizable people, if feasible. You may enter up to four individual photographs. They may be all color transparencies, all color prints, or a mixture. An official entry form as published in TRAVELER magazine or on the National Geographic Society Web site (or a legible facsimile) must accompany the entered photograph or photographs. Place your name and address on the frame of each color slide and on the back of each color print. To avoid damage, all entries should be packaged in cardboard for mailing. Mail entries to:
