About VIVA Travel Guides: Cover Photo Contests

VIVA Travel Guides was born out of love -- a love for travel. And because of that, our mission is simply this: Helping travelers travel better.

So how do we accomplish this? Three simple words: world. wide. web.

The world is constantly changing, growing, evolving. That's why VIVA Travel Guides is reinventing the traditional guidebook by harnessing the power of the web to create and update its travel information.

More than just a guidebook, VIVA is a community of travelers, travel writers, photographers and business owners -- all who share the same love for travel and same commitment to accurate, unbiased information.

We like to invite travelers to help create our guidebooks. After all, who else knows best about travel than travelers themselves?

One way travelers can get involved is through our Flickr Cover Photo Contests. VIVA Travel Guides hosts travel photography contests for each of its upcoming guidebooks. We like to publish real photos by real travelers, and crave all things authentic and aesthetic. So whether you are a professional photojournalist, an aspiring amateur, or simply a wanderlusting backpacker with a good eye (and camera), we invite all travelers to submit their photos!

Selected by the editorial team, the cover photo winner will receive $100 and the coveted cover of the book, as well as all the fame and glory of being a published photographer!

If your photo doesn't make the cover, don't fret: we select a number of runners up for placement inside the guidebook itself.

All winners retain rights to -- and will always be credited alongside -- their photographs.

Have questions? Feel free to write us at editors@vivatravelguides.com, or visit our Photography Contest Page at www.vivatravelguides.com/viva-contests/ Contest details and submission guidelines are covered in each Flickr contest group.
