Real travel photography. Real stories. Real rewards.
Turn the photos already on your hard drive into real income.
Unfiltered global travel photography competition is for photographers who capture travel as it truly is. Raw. Honest. Human.
No AI tricks. No synthetic scenery. Just real places, real people, and real moments you were there to witness.
If you believe travel photography is about experience, not perfection, this is your space. Your images matter because they are real. And they deserve to be seen.

Why this competition
is different
Unlike most competitions, we do not choose only one winner per category. Every strong photograph stands on its own.
-
Free and unlimited submissions. The more images you upload, the more chances you have to be shortlisted and earn from them.
-
You get paid per winning photo. Every shortlisted photo that becomes a winner earns you 5 NZD per image. Payments are processed monthly and results update in real time on our website.
-
Perfect if you have years of travel photos waiting to be seen. Turn them into a steady stream of pocket money.
-
Focused on authenticity. AI-generated images are not accepted. This competition exists to spotlight real photography and real journeys.
