National Geographic Launches “My Shot” Feature

National Geographic �My Shot�

Now here’s a real chance to get your photos published by the National Geographic Magazine. NGM.com has launched its ‘My Shot’ innovation where you can upload your own best images and share them as albums, puzzles and games.

This is open to photographers of all skill levels, whether you are an accomplished professional or simply a talented amateur. You can begin by uploading up to 100 of your favorite shots.

You will also be able to use a drag-and-drop version of NGM.com’s cutting-edge jigsaw puzzle generator on their pages. Any photo saved to “My Shot” can be turned instantly into a jigsaw puzzle. There is also a custom version of a popular memory-sorting game that users can create from their own photos.

Then there’s ‘Your Shot,’ that’s the next level for this NGM innovation. You can submit your best photos to ‘Your Shot’ where a dozen photos are selected each day by editors to appear on-line, with those photos being rated by readers. At the end of the month, the winning photo will be published in National Geographic Magazine itself, which reaches 40 million readers worldwide.
