Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The 2019 National Geographic Travel Photo contest is now in its third week of accepting entries.
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.
“We are looking for images that show us the world: its people, places, and cultures,” says the National Geographic magazine.
“Photos that tell the story of a place and travel moments that reveal what inspires you.”
The contest is open until 3 May and you can submit your photographs here.
The Independent has compiled the best pictures from the contest this week in the gallery above.
