Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Entries are now being taken for the 2019 National Geographic Travel Photo contest.

The contest invites photographers of all abilities to send in the best pictures from their travels in the hope of winning a cash prize and online promotion.

Winning photos from previous years include a close encounter with a humpback whale and the meeting of a lightning strike with a volcanic eruption.

The contest is open until 3 May and you can submit your photographs here.

The Independent has compiled the best pictures from the contest so far in the gallery above.
