From sweeping vistas to quiet portraits, from market stalls to roadside relics, we are looking for photographs that convey the spirit of travel in all its forms.
Entry Fee: $39 for 5 images, $6 for each additional image.
Prize: Each juror selects two groups of images. One group of images will be printed and hung in a physical gallery in Middlebury, Vermont; the other images will be displayed digitally via continuous-loop projection in the gallery.
