Congratulations to our Winners, Finalists + Highly Commended Photographers.
Thank you to everyone who submitted images for our inaugural awards. The standard of entries across all categories was incredibly high, and images reflected a diverse set of skills and destinations. The talent that exists within The Travel Photography Club and The Wandering Lens community is so inspiring, and I’m very excited to share the winning images and finalists below.
