InterContinental Hotels and National Geographic Photography Contest

Travel photography is a great hobby for the business traveler. I’m a big fan myself and drag my SLR everywhere I go. It’s just something that is easy to do in your off time and a great way to capture the places you visit. InterContinental Hotels & Resorts and National Geographic have announced “InSights”, a photography contest inviting amateur photographers to share their travel photos for a chance to win. From now until July 1, 2007, travelers can submit their travel photos for a chance to win a 16 day expedition to Australia and hone their skills with National Geographic photographer Roff Smith during a two-day guided tour of Sydney.

In addition to spending quality time with a world-class photojournalist down under with accommodations provided by InterContinental Sydney, the winner’s photograph will appear in National Geographic Traveler in the United States, National Geographic magazine in the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, and Asia, as well as on nationalgeographic.com, intercontinental.com and broadcast on the National Geographic Channel in October.

The second place prize winner will receive a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5/B digital camera and enjoy one complimentary stay of two nights at any InterContinental hotel or resort worldwide.

The third place prize winner will also enjoy one complimentary stay of two nights at any InterContinental hotel or resort worldwide and receive a copy of the award-winning National Geographic Eighth Edition Atlas of the World, which combines state-of-the-art cartographic technology with dynamic cultural content.

Finally, the competition will culminate with a traveling exhibition of the top 20 photo submissions touring InterContinental Hotels & Resorts in major global destinations throughout the world.
