I have some fun and exciting news for all of you but something that may really be intriguing to all my photography enthusiast followers!
Energizer and its Energizer® Ultimate Lithium batteries are teaming up again with the National Geographic Society for the fourth annual Energizer Ultimate Photo Contest, giving photographers the dream opportunity to see their photo appear in an ad in the acclaimed pages of National Geographic magazine and – for the first time – winning their choice of three inspiring trips at different locations across the globe.
The program brings together the society dedicated to inspiring people to care about the planet with the company rooted in developing products that offer high performance with more responsibility. Energizer brought the world’s first mercury-free alkaline batteries to market, commercially available since 1991, and now Energizer® Ultimate Lithium batteries last up to 8x* longer in digital cameras, so you can use up to 8x fewer batteries and create less waste for the planet. A dedication to performance and responsibility is the backbone of the new communication platform at Energizer called now that’s positivenergy™.
Doesn’t that sound amazing? YOU could have your picture in National Geographic!! Not only that but you could also win a trip? Whoo hoo! Sounds like a good time to me. If you want to enter, you need to enter your best shots at www.nationalgeographic.com/lithium. You can enter a photo by June 30 in each of the six thematic categories: animals/wildlife, nature/weather, travel/cultures, family/community, arts/music and action/energy.
Here is the winner from last year… 2010 Energizer Ultimate Photo Contest Winning Photo by Barrett Hedges
Gorgeous, isn’t it?
Do you have what it takes? Entries will be judged and narrowed down to two finalists per category, then to one winner per category and ultimately to one Grand Prize winner. “This year the Grand Prize winner of the Energizer Ultimate Photo Contest gets to play a role in selecting what part of the world’s beauty they want to enjoy – the three options include an Alaska cruise of the state’s remote wilderness, a Moroccan odyssey spanning the sea to the Sahara or a 12-day journey into the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.”
Energizer Lithium has kindly offered one of you a special prize in spirit of this awesome photo contest! What will you win? One US winner will have an opportunity to win a battery-powered desktop mini digital photo frame powered by two Energizer® Ultimate Lithium AAA batteries!
