WorldNomads.com, in conjunction with National Geographic Channel and
Gap Adventures, is offering a scholarship to Antarctica with on-assignment
National Geographic photographer Jason Edwards. The scholarship recipient will
photograph the world’s most remote wilderness and have their photographs
published on the National Geographic Channel website.
The winner of the scholarship will be flown to Argentina from their
country of residence where they will join an 11-day Antarctic Expedition with
Gap Adventures. They will gain invaluable mentoring and hands-on experience
in everything from shot set up, technique and composition.
Applicants for the scholarship must shoot a series of photos (no more than 5)
that tell a story about a place they have visited. Photos should be
uploaded to the scholarship group on Flickr (www.flickr.com/groups/worldnomadsscholarship09).
Entrants will also be asked to provide 200 words or less on why they
should be awarded the World Nomads 2009 Travel Photography Scholarship.
All interested students should visit the WorldNomads.com Scholarship
