National Geographic Traveller Photography competition finalists

The winners will be announced soon

The finalists for the National Geographic Traveller Photography competition have been announced.

The annual competition takes entries from both amateur and professional photographers across five categories: cities, nature, people, food and portfolio.

Pat Riddell, editor of National Geographic Traveller, says: “At a time when we’re surrounded by travel photography, this year’s shortlist reminds us there’s so much more to using a camera than ‘point and shoot’. From documenting local customs and traditions to awe-inspiring landscapes and incredible wildlife, this year’s entrants prove once again how powerful a medium travel photography can be.”

The winners will be announced on February 26.
