Visual impression of the home page design for National Geographic.

National Geographic is well known for its breathtaking photography. Every year the company organizes a contest where everyone can submit their photos of landscapes, animals, and people.

Commissioned by DotControl, I was responsible for designing an interface for the three phases of the contest: submission, voting, and presentation.

The National Geographic Photo contest platform was Official DIA nominee (Dutch Interactive Awards). The Dutch Interactive Awards (DIA) are the prizes for the best interactive work by Dutch makers.
