I have written on quite a number of photography competitions but if memory serves me right, this is the first time I am featuring a photography contest that is open for children only.

This international photography contest for kids is organized by National Geographic Society so you can expect high quality entries. However, according to the website, this is an international contest but as far as I could see, this contest is open to residents of the United States, Canada and a handful of international countries.

I think that thus contest will serve as a great platform for children who are interested in photography, or aspiring to be professional photographers. I wished that there were such exciting contests for me when I was a kid!
