National Geographic Traveller (UK) Photography Competition 2024 winners announced听
National Geographic Traveller (UK) has announced the winners of its Photography Competition 2024. Seeking to highlight the best in travel photography, this prestigious annual competition, celebrating its 12th year, was open to entrants from across the UK and Ireland from December 2023 until February 2024. Photographers, both amateur and professional, submitted travel images taken during the past year in any of six categories.听
Pat Riddell, editor of National Geographic Traveller (UK), said: 鈥淔rom the Northern Lights in Iceland and the landscapes of the Norwegian coast to the souks of Marrakech and a workshop in Cambodia, the entries of this year鈥檚 competition continue to amaze us with their creativity.
鈥淎fter over a decade of judging the awards, it would be reasonable to expect that the originality and impact of travel photography would somehow diminish. But our finalists鈥� unique perspectives on the world prove that there are always new ways to view the well-trodden paths, as well as those less travelled. A huge congratulations to everyone included here, in what was a competition of exceptionally high standards.鈥�
All six category winners receive a year-long subscription to National Geographic Traveller (UK) and tickets to the forthcoming online Masterclasses, a series of travel writing and photography panel discussions due to take place in early 2025.
