The grand prize is $2,500 and each category winner, as well as the readers' choice winner, will receive $500. The winner in the sustainable travel category will receive two round-trip plane tickets for travel to any place in North America, the Caribbean and Central America. 

Both professional and amateur photographers can enter this contest. For the photo to be eligible for entry, it must have been taken since January 1, 2013.
