National Geographic Encourages Readers to Share Travel Photos
National Geographic is using social media to engage with its readers about travel, and one platform they are focusing on is Facebook. Every Friday, a question about travel plans is posted on the news organization's Facebook page, aiming to inspire its readers to plan their next trips through shared travel experiences.
The news organization encourages its readers to share their travel experiences by submitting their favorite travel photos with captions on ngm.com/yourshot. Photos submitted by readers may appear on the back page of the magazine or on the news organization's blog.
To submit travel photos and tag them with #travelshot, photographers should join the National Geographic Your Shot community and upload their images through the Your Shot website or app. They can add captions, details, and tags like #travelshot to categorize their work within the travel photography theme. This hashtag helps National Geographic identify and curate submissions related to travel.
While the precise step-by-step submission instructions with the #travelshot tag are not detailed explicitly in the search results, photographers are encouraged to plan and prepare their shots carefully before submission, which enhances the quality of images featured on platforms like Your Shot. Reviewing official National Geographic Your Shot social media or website pages can provide updated submission guidelines, deadlines, and featured themes.
Photos submitted by readers may appear in one of the My Shot community galleries online, and readers can look for their photos in the My Shot community galleries or on the news organization's blog. The news organization's readers have impressive travel experiences, and their submissions can inspire other readers to plan their own trips.
In addition to Facebook, the news organization has a website called Expeditions, where readers can find more travel-related content and inspiration. Submissions to Your Shot/Travel are not limited to the news organization's Facebook page, and readers can also share photos of their travel destinations on the Facebook page. The news organization's Facebook page features photos of travel destinations shared by its readers.
