Photography Contests   

Got a great shot of a spectacular Argentine mountain or a cute Mexican toddler? Enter our contest and you might win $100 getting it published on the cover of our upcoming guidebooks!

V!VA is currently looking for photos for its upcoming Argentina, Galapagos, Quito Cusco, Guatemala and Mexico guidebooks. Submit your best shots -- portraits, landscapes, textures -- and you may get published! The rules are simple and easy. So what are you waiting for? Start shooting!

How do I enter? 

The contest runs on Flickr and it’s simple to sign up for a free account if you haven't already got one.

To enter using Flickr: 

• Choose your best color photos to be considered for the cover of the following upcoming guidebooks: Argentina, Quito, Galápagos, Ecuador and the Galápagos, Cusco and Machu Picchu, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Mexico.

• If you don't have a free Flickr account, create one.

• Upload your photos to your account, and then to the relative Flickr contest group.

• For each cover contest you want to enter, join the appropriate group and upload your photos to that group's pool.

• Photos must be saved as portrait layout, and croppable to 1650x2250 pixels.

• Enter the following information in the photo's description:

o Where the photo was taken.

o What year the photo was taken (please, no photos taken over three years ago).

o Up to three sentences describing your photo.

• Please tag according to each group. For example: "VIVATravelGuides Argentina" or "VIVA TravelGuides Guatemala" (be sure to include the quotation marks).

By putting the photos up in your own Flickr account, you control them and the comments they receive. If you are unable to create a Flickr account, please email us at photocontests@vivatravelguides.com. Please enter your color photos only as described above. Unfortunately, we can only accept digital files, not prints, CDs, etc.
