Many thanks to everyone who entered our 5th Annual Photo Contest. Our panel of judges spent many hours carefully reviewing 7,500 photographs from around the world.

We have selected 10 Finalists in each of the five categories—Americana, The Natural World, People, Altered Images, Travel— and you can now view those photographs here.

We plan to reveal the Grand Prize Winner and the five Category Winners in the July 2008 issue of Smithsonian. Likewise, we will reveal the winners here, on our Web site, on July 1st.

Category winners will be awarded $500. The readers' choice winner will be awarded $500. The grand prize winner will receive a four-day, three-night Smithsonian Journeys Grand Canyon Weekend Adventure for two from July 11-14, 2008, or the cash equivalent.
