Travel Caption Contest—2021

It may have been a while since you traveled, or maybe you’re just now traveling again. We wanted to hear about your travel adventures—past or present—but in a unique way.

It’s about capturing the moment in the caption so that we can see the photograph in our mind’s eye.

Here we present the winners and finalists:
