Memorial Day countdown: Photographers, start your engines, please

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer -- and of the summer vacation season. So what are you doing on your summer vacation? We’re betting you’ll be snapping a few photos.

For the second year, The Times Travel section will run a “What I Did on My Summer Vacation” photo issue -- Sept. 23 this year -- featuring reader photos selected from among the dozens and dozens that are submitted. Our photo editors sort through them and will choose about six to eight to run in the print edition and more to run online.

Will yours make the cut? You won’t know unless you send one in.

How to submit? If your photo is taken between Memorial Day and Labor Day of this year, include your name and city of residence with your submission, and describe when and where your photo was shot. Submissions will be accepted until Sept. 3. Send to travel@latimes.com. Or you can to go to this link, take a look at last year’s honored photos and upload your photo here.

Happy snapping!
