LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - National Geographic has launched a worldwide photo contest where the top prize will be a meeting with a Nebraskan.
In the "See the Bigger Picture" contest, children are asked to submit images illustrating plants, animals or anything else that captures biodiversity. Photos should be sent to http://www.seethebiggerpicture.org.
The winner will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C., and will meet with renowned photojournalist Joel Sartore, a contest judge. Sartore lives in Lincoln.
Entries must be received by Sept. 8, 2009.
The organizers hope the photographs collected from around the globe create the world's largest biodiversity outreach program.
