The Not-Just-For-Travel Travel Photo Contest!

The weekly photo contest is now live!

Here’s how it works:

(Tl;dr: Upload your photo here for a weekly chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card. There is no cost to enter.)

On each day from Sunday through Thursday, a daily winner is chosen from among the day’s entries, and announced on this site the following day. Then one of those five photos is chosen as the weekly winner, and awarded the weekly prize of $50, in the form of an Amazon gift card. The complete rules are here.

This was originally conceived primarily as a travel-photography contest. You’d travel somewhere and submit your best shots. And that’s still part of the contest.

But because not many people are traveling these days, two more types of photographs are especially encouraged:

  • Photos from previous trips. This could be a great way to re-live past experiences as you share them; and
  • Photos of what it’s like to stay at home. This could be anything, from a selfie to a view from your window, or anything else that represents your social distancing.

There’s no cost to enter, so head over the contest page and show us what you’ve got!

About J.M. Hoffman

A prolific writer and avid photographer, J.M. Hoffman picked up his first camera when he was eight years old. And even though he abhors a cliche, he never looked back. Acclaimed as a "master raconteur" who writes with a "flair" (Times Literary Supplement of London), Hoffman authored two non-fiction books and contributed to over a dozen others before writing The Warwick Files. He continues to write fiction and non-fiction. In addition to writing and traveling the world lecturing about his books, Hoffman has also directed a dance troupe, taught darkroom technique, and explored Patagonia on horseback. From time to time he can be seen playing table tennis poorly at the WTCC. He lives just north of New York City.
