Thank you so much to everyone who entered the first annual World Travel Photography Awards brought to you by JRNY Travel Magazine in conjunction with Wild Frontiers!

We launched this competition because we want to find the best travel photographers from all over the globe, no matter their status or location. The World Travel Photography Awards is a celebration of our beautiful world and photography. Here are your shortlisted entries for 2023 – congratulations to you all!

Landscape

The earth is an incredibly beautiful place that we are lucky enough to experience. We wanted to see your take on our incredible and unique planet. The shortlisted photographers brought the location to life, left viewers breathless and highlighted the awesome power of nature.

Cities

There is nothing quite like the vibrancy of a city to add to any great trip. The shortlisted photographers showed us what makes a city special to them, from the calm cityscapes and quiet nighttime streets to the hustle and bustle of daily life in one of our metropolises.

Wildlife

The chance to witness wildlife is one of the main reasons people travel. Wildlife doesn’t have to mean the big five in Africa; it could be a dormouse in the French countryside. Our shortlisted photographers highlighted the glorious beauty of nature through these images:

People

No great experience is complete without characters. The shortlisted images showed us what makes people special and celebrated their environments and personalities. The judges felt best connected to these subjects:

Stay tuned for the results!
