    Majestic: Photographers have recorded the world's many wonders and are now submitting their best pictures for consideration


    Wild: This is one of a few thousand images already submitted for the contest, focusing on people, places and nature around the world

    Lunch time: This photograph was taken in January 2015 on Lake Kerkini in Greece. The dalmatian pelicans that inhabit that area have grown accustomed to humans since fishermen have fed them for hundreds of years. Their presence helps maintain a balanced ecosystem

    In nature:These two sub-adult tiger cubs, aged around 21 months, are engaged in a mock fight, a part of their learning process to acquire stalking and self-defense skills. This was taken in India 

    Stunning: After looking at this year's finalists, readers can vote for their favorite by visiting the Smithsonian website

    Wondrous: The photo competition is now in its 13th year and allows both professional and amateur photographers to enter. This shot, as part of the Natural World category, was taken by Jennifer Guyton of a frog with a baby frog on its back 


    Turtles that swim together: All the awards—Grand Prize, Readers’ Choice, and seven category winners—will be announced on March 22
