This week’s giveaway is a contest to promote a contest.
I was contacted by National Geographic about a photo contest they are running through the end of June with Energizer Batteries. You can submit a photo to have a chance to win a trip to the Galápagos Islands and to have your photo featured in National Geographic Magazine. Having a photo in National Geographic and traveling to the Galápagos Islands are high on my to do list, so this was something I agreed to be a part of. (I’m also a huge National Geographic fan).
To help them promote it, I’m going to be running my own contest, with National Geographic and Energizer providing the prizes. There will be five prizes given away on my site:
- 2 one-year subscriptions to National Geographic Magazine
- 3 packages of Energizer® AA Ultimate Lithium batteries
As usual, all you have to do is leave a comment to win. Just tell me a) what device you’d use the batteries in, OR b) what is your favorite article/show/book/etc from National Geographic. Also if you are going to submit a photo, share it with everyone and leave a link to it in the comment. I will leave comments open for about a week then pick five random entries.
Just so we are clear, there are two contests:
1) The Nat Geo/Energizer contest: submit a photo and win a trip to the Galápagos Islands
2) My contest: leave a comment and win a subscription and batteries
You are strongly encouraged to do both :)

Has Read several times, but don’t care nothing have not understood.
Just as a point of interest, Gary, do you have a favorite National Geographic publication?
My favorite NG article (the whole issue, really) was the one focusing on solar weather a few years back…it had information not just on the composition of the sun, but about the effects of its ion storms and flares on earth’s magnetosphere, and how that (something invisible) can dramatically alter so many aspects of life that are taken for granted, such as knocking out power grids and making birds go crazy. It also had this really cool map of the solar system, with a more detailed map of the sun with the (then) current areas of interest.
