Photojournalists worldwide can participate in this contest.

Kepesita is accepting submissions for its 2012 Hitchhiking Photography Contest, which aims to highlight the cultural aspects of hitchhiking.

Hitchhiking can be viewed as a gate to different cultures and local communities through people, as a «greener» way of traveling, as an adventure, as a lifestyle, as a low-budget way to get around built on a simple human gesture and trust, or as a feared and in some places forbidden way of traveling.

Photographers are invited to submit images that are clearly related to hitchhiking. The photographs must be submitted electronically.

The first-place winner will receive US$500; the second-place winner will receive US$200; and the third-place winner will receive US$100.

The deadline for submissions is September 30.
