National Geographic Traveller Photo Contest Winners

National Geographic Traveler partnered with Photo District News on the ultimate travel-photo contest.


Jonas Peterson's winner was taken while he shot scenes on a farm in Queensland, Australia. "Molly Nolan, the girl in the photo, became bored," Peterson says, "so I told her to look for tigers. Knowing Australia has no tigers, she reacted angrily. I turned to take photos. When I looked back, I saw her. Looking for tigers."

  1. Love this shot and used it on my blog today. Great find!

    So, did you come in third? You were robbed!!!

  2. I was a little disappointed with third place because second place went to a political blog that, in my view, shouldn't have been entered in the culture and entertainment category. This contest has multiple political categories categories that would have been more appropriate. I hope that this doesn't sound like sour grapes.

    I just checked out the blogs and you're right! The second place winner should not have been in your category. Did you complain?

  4. Too late now. I should have raised it before the results came out.
