Our April Photo Contest is now live! The theme is Amazing Earth! We live on an amazing planet, filled with flora and fauna and fungus. Show us a photo that really captures the awe of nature, whether it’s a mountainous landscape, a bug in macro, or anything in between. We want you to capture the wildness of wildlife, the natural world.

We’re accepting submissions through Wednesday, April 24. Voting begins Thursday, April 25 at noon, and the winner will be announced April 30. Good luck!

This month’s contest is sponsored by SONY. Their Alpha NEX-3N can beautifully capture our amazing planet with its 16.1-MP Exmor APS-C sensor and its 1080 HD movie capabilities. Its intelligent AF means you will never miss a shot, and it’s small enough to fit in any world explorer’s backpack (or fanny pack).

We have some amazing prizes lined up for this month.

The Grand Prize is the aforementioned Sony Alpha NEX-3N. The Alpha NEX-3N delivers high-resolution photos and exquisite Full HD movies, all with excellent edge-to-edge sharpness. This thoughtfully designed, feature-filled interchangeable-lens camera features a large APS-C size sensor, a built-in pop-up flash, 4 fps continuous shooting and much more. The 180° tiltable LCD makes self-portraits foolproof and fun. And with Auto Object Framing, it’s easy to produce beautifully balanced, perfectly framed shots of nearly any subject.

Weighing in at just 3.2 ounces (with battery) it lets you capture your adventures on the mountain, in the water, and anywhere else you go for your adrenaline fixes. The Sony Action Cam ships with two adhesive, quick-connect mounts and a ruggedized, waterproof housing good down to 197ft.
