In three months, more than 5,000 pictures poured in for our first Picture Our World travel photo contest this summer. It seemed pretty obvious: We couldn't stop at just one.

So, Picture Our World is back and even bigger for its second go-round.

This time, the photo contest will run for an entire year. We will have three categories California, national and international with first- and second-place winners in each.

We also will publish the winning photos in the Travel section on Nov. 11.
