The nature publication’s new “Illuminating the World” website presents readers with nighttime photos of cities and countrysides from around the world and even permits them to take part in the action.

Whether you’re a pro or aspiring amateur, you can submit your photographs to the Your Shot community site, have them critiqued by NatGeo’s photo editors, and potentially get your stuff published.

Just no selfies please.
