The entries are officially in for National Geographic’s International Photography Contest of 2009. 30 images from photographers throughout the world have been selected for voting by National Geographic readers. These photographs showcase a world far beyond our own, one of nature, of humanity, of lifestyle and landscape. You can weigh in with your own vote on National Geographic’s website, but you can start with a sneak peak in the gallery below.
