In conjunction with the National Geographic Channel, WorldNomads.com is offering the opportunity for one talented student to go on a seven-day assignment with National Geographic photographer Jason Edwards to the Kingdom of Bhutan. Working alongside Edwards, the student will photograph rare and endangered wildlife, historical architecture and colorful cultural life. Gaining invaluable mentoring and hands-on experience in everything from shot set up, technique and composition through to insights into Edwards' many years of diverse experience, the student will learn what it is like to be a National Geographic Photographer on assignment. The scholarship winner will receive (AUD) $2,000 worth of Pentax photographic equipment, plus have their best photographs published on National Geographic Channel.

The student will be flown to Paro from their country of residence to join their mentor and guide from Jo Jo's Adventures to explore the deeply spiritual Bhutan as it opens up the modern world, in careful balance with its ancient traditions.  

Applicants for the scholarship must submit no more than five photos that tell a story about a place they have visited.


All interested students should visit WorldNomads.com for full application details. The deadline for entries is Oct. 17, 2010.
