This category highlights the harmony between exploration and environmental responsibility, showcasing how travel can positively impact the planet and local communities. These images should capture eco-friendly practices, cultural respect, and the beauty of sustainable travel experiences. Here are some ideas:

Eco-Friendly Adventures:

  • Travelers exploring nature responsibly, such as hiking, kayaking, or cycling in protected areas.
  • Unique eco-lodges, treehouses, or accommodations that blend seamlessly with their natural surroundings.
  • Renewable energy-powered transportation like electric buses, trains, or bikes in scenic locations.

Cultural Connection:

  • Local artisans at work, traditional markets, or community-led tourism initiatives.
  • Travelers engaging in culturally respectful activities, such as learning local crafts or participating in traditional ceremonies.
  • Celebrations of cultural heritage that empower and support local communities.

Sustainability in Action:

  • Beach cleanups, reforestation projects, or wildlife conservation efforts involving travelers.
  • Farm-to-table dining experiences that highlight local, sustainable food practices.
  • Examples of low-impact travel, such as minimal waste camping or carbon-neutral tours.

This photography should inspire wanderlust while emphasizing the importance of traveling mindfully. It celebrates the beauty of the world and the ways we can explore it sustainably, ensuring that future generations can enjoy its wonders.

Instructions and Credits:

We are looking for all types of images that you believe will help us in our courses, blogs, and social media. Photos tell stories, give us glimpses of others’ lives and show us parts of the world we have never seen. Your photography will help us raise awareness about the environmental challenges that we all face in our communities.

We are looking for original photographs. You do not need any special equipment and you can take images with your phone. For every 5 images, you will get 1 hour of credit.

We accept a variety of content/subject matter as long as it pertains to our work. Do NOT send multiple JPEGs of the same photo, but you can take multiple shots of the same subject. For example, if you are taking pictures at a park, capturing different angles of someone picking up trash—showing the scenery, trash bag, and garbage—are all acceptable. However, if you take 5 similar photos of a person sitting at a desk, we will only be able to use one image.

Ready to start capturing images through a camera lens? Don’t worry if you’re a beginner – it’s all about trial and error and finding your unique style. Experiment with different angles, lighting, and subjects to discover what works for you. Your effort is all that is required, and once we verify your images, we will give you credit.
