Enter The Star’s 2015 Summer Travel Photo Contest

Got big or small trips planned this summer? We want to see your best photos from your adventures in The Star’s 2015 Summer Travel Photo Contest.

Send us your pictures taken during this summer travel season: Memorial Day weekend until Labor Day 2015. There are three categories:

▪ Local (Kansas and Missouri)

▪ National

▪ International

You can enter only one photo per category, so send us your absolute best.

A first-place prize of $50 will be awarded in each of the three categories. Winning photos and some runners-up will be published in the paper.

To submit photos, go to Mingle.KansasCity.com and click on Travel, then 2015 Summer Travel Photo Contest. Click “Share your shots” to upload your photo to the contest and our online gallery.
