Winners of the Travel Photographer of the Year 2013 Contest


The Travel Photographer of the Year 2013 winners have just recently been announced, their images revealing eye-opening and intimate looks at people, wildlife, and landscapes from across the globe. The annual international photo competition has received submissions from both amateur and professional photographers hailing from nearly one hundred different countries, each with a unique perspective.

The world is more connected thanks in large part to these camera-clad enthusiasts and passionate photographers who travel across the globe, capturing some of the most stunning images to share with everyone else. Over the past year alone, these international photographers have traveled to the Andaman Sea where sea gypsies go spear fishing, to Botswana where lionesses hunt and feast on their prey, and to the French Alps just in time to capture a dramatic shot of the moon seemingly nestled in the icy mountaintops.

Here are a few of the best the competition had to offer, including winners, runners-up, and honorable mentions.
