WASHINGTON -- Are you proud of your vacation photos, nature pictures or other images from your travels?

Consider entering the 2009 National Geographic International Photography Contest. There are three categories -- people, places and nature -- and you can enter a total of six photographs. Images can be black and white or color, digital or shot with conventional film, but they must be submitted digitally to www.ngphotocontest.com.

The contest ends Oct. 31. The entry fee is $12 per photo for entries received on or before Oct. 15, and $22 per photo for entries received between Oct. 16 and Oct. 31. First-place category winners will win a digital camera kit and the photos will be published in the magazine.

The contest is being held internationally for readers of editions of the magazine outside the U.S., and three international grand prize winners will also be chosen.
