The six category winners of the Energizer Ultimate Photo Contest have been announced. The photographers are now in the running for the “ultimate” grand prize: a trip for two to the Galápagos Islands accompanied by a National Geographic expert and the chance to see their photo grace the pages of National Geographic magazine in an ad for Energizer® Ultimate Lithium batteries. In August, 12 photos were selected as Category Finalists by Jim Richardson, a National Geographic photographer and the judge for the “Energizer Ultimate Photo Contest.”  Then America was asked to go online to nationalgeographic.com/lithium to vote for a favourite in each category.  After four weeks of voting, the following were named Category Winners: Ruston Agte for “Polar Bear Swimming” (Animals/Wildlife), Tracy Hagen for “Light Shaft Shines on Sea” (Nature), Glenn Traver for “Boardwalk and Ocean” (Travel), Frederick Abels for “Sultry Porch and Cloud Reflections” (Weather), Bernardo Medina for “Boy and Boats” (People and Cultures) and “Peddling Bicycle in Wind” (Inspiration/Keep Going).
