The 'National Geographic Traveler' Photo Contest (http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/traveler-magazine/photo-contest/2013/) is upon us, and some stunning images have already started to flow in.
The contest is in its 25th year and asks amateur photographers to submit photos from their travels for a chance to have them published in the magazine. More than 3,000 shots have already been submitted (you can see all of them here (http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/traveler-magazine/photo-contest/2013/entries/recent-entries/)), and so far, the results are breathtaking. Images of an alligator resting on the back of a turtle and another of two vultures battling are particularly stunning.
The contest will be open until June 30, 2013 (http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/traveler-magazine/photo-contest/2013/) and entries cost $15.
