We are looking for your travel photographs, near and far, to the edge of the earth and to the places perhaps known only to you. Whether you're hauling around a view camera and a tripod or just pulling a mobile phone out of your back pocket, we want to see what you've captured and how you're telling your story.

There's a world out there to explore. Open your eyes to its landscapes, people, cultures – on your doorstep or 10,000 miles away. Expand our horizons and send us your best portfolios!

Winners will receive $1,000 in cash awards, their winning image(s) or full portfolio published in AAP Magazine Vol.45, extensive press coverage and global recognition.
