National Geographic is asking photographers to submit photos or videos that "celebrate the beauty of the planet" for Earth Day. Its editors, along with filmmaker Bertie Gregory, will pick their favorites to share on the company's "Your Shot" Instagram page.
Entering is pretty simple: all you have to do is post a photo to Instagram using the hashtag "#NatGeoYourShotOurHOME" before April 22nd. The company says Gregory will pick his personal favorites from the photos submitted and share them in a gallery on the @NatGeoYourShot Instagram page on April 30th.

"Rising majestically above the California landscape, Mount Shasta is a potentially active volcano that stands as a silent guardian of the ancient legends that surround it. A sacred peak in Native American lore, it’s said to be the home of powerful spirits and a gateway to another world. Its snowcapped grandeur and timeless presence remind me of the mysteries that lie beyond the horizon. I took this aerial image while flying my single-engine plane."Photo: Jassen Todorov, @jassensf
National Geographic isn't pitching this as a formal contest but as a "fun and open way for people of all photography experience levels to engage with Nat Geo and share how they see the beauty of our planet." As such, there aren't many requirements, though the Your Shot FAQ page recommends posting a resolution of at least 1080px by 1080px, and says that images can't be digitally manipulated beyond "standard color correction and retouching to eliminate dust on camera sensors and film, or scratches on scanned negatives or prints."
You can submit as many photos as you like – if yours is selected, you'll be asked to share the full-size photo, along with a Raw, caption and signed release form.
