About the Energizer_® Ultimate Photo Contest

No prized scrapbook photo or National Geographic cover shot has ever come from a camera with dead batteries. So it's with weekend warriors like you in mind—as well as award-winning professional photographers like Jim Richardson—that Energizer invented Energizer_® Ultimate Lithium batteries. Energizer_® Ultimate Lithium AA and AAA batteries last up to eight times longer vs. Energizer_® MAX^® (results vary by camera). That means you can take your mind off of your batteries and focus on taking great shots.

Enter your best photos in the Energizer_® Ultimate Photo Contest. You could win the grand prize: a photo expedition to Tanzania and Zanzibar with a National Geographic expert. The winning photo will also be published in the December 2008 issue of National Geographic magazine!
