Pokémon Go players with a knack for photography have a chance to show off their talents in the new Pokémon Go AR Photography Contest, which kicks off today.
The Pokémon Go AR Photography Contest tasks players with taking fantastic pictures of Pokémon out in the wild and posting those photos on Instagram with the hashtag #PokemonGOContest. On Oct. 25, the 10 best photos will be selected by Niantic and those players will receive Pokémon Go-related prizes.

"If your AR photo is selected as one of the top 10 submissions, you’ll win a Pokémon Go Prize Pack containing a Pokémon Go Plus, a poster autographed by the Pokémon Go team, and wireless Bluetooth earbuds," the contest rules read.
It's been 18 years since the photography-based Pokémon Snap game came out for the Nintendo 64, and we haven't had a decent Pokémon picture-taking game since. Who would've guessed that its spiritual predecessor would be an augmented reality photo contest.
To enter the contest, you do need to be a resident of a country where the Pokémon Go has officially been released and you need to be considered an adult in that country (18 years old in the U.S.).
Additionally, photos cannot have other people in them, unfortunately, so your beautiful selfie with a doduo in the background will not be considered for the contest.

Pokemon Go's seems to have hit a wall with bringing fresh ideas to the game, but I think reintroducing a version with Pokemon Snap might do the trick. Instead of taking a picture of a singe, lonely, Pikachu starting at you and waiting to whack that pokéball back at you, why not lead a trainer to a place where a pack of Pikachus are taking a nap under the sun?
