With just a few more days to enter the National Geographic 2018 Travel Photographer of the Year Contest, the organizers of the annual competition have released a selection of their favorite submissions from the Nature category so far.

National Geographic explains: “Our judges are looking for photos that tell the story of a place and travel moments that inspire others to explore our world.” From the deep blue sea to the African savanna, the remarkable photos document otherworldly landscapes and the astonishing behavior of the wildlife that inhabit them.
So far, stand out entries from the Nature category include Kirsten Tucker’s incredible close-up of a majestic leopard, lurking in the grasslands of Botswana. Another photo by Leinani Yosaitis captures a herd of giraffes relaxing near Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania. A third image by Reiko Takahashi details the enormous tail fin of a baby Humpback whale swimming near Kumejima Island, Japan.
If you think you can compete with these entries, the National Geographic 2018 Travel Photographer of the Year Contest is accepting submissions until May 31, 2018. If wildlife photography isn’t your thing, you can also enter into the Cities and People categories. The grand prize winner will be awarded $10,000 and two additional category winners will receive $2,500 each. You can also vote for your favorite entry as part of the Peoples’ Choice category from June 11-15, 2018.
