This competition is special to me since I have been with it from its beginning (2003) when I was given a Judge’s Favourite Award. Now, 20 years later I received their highest award which makes me very proud and means a lot to me. Travel and photography have been my passions and a big part of my life since I can remember and this award inspires me to continue with my journey.”2024 CATEGORIES READ THE RULES HOW TO ENTER ENTER NOWWHAT WINNING TPOTY MEANS “TPOTY is one of the world most prestigious photography competitions, not just because of the quantity and quality of its participants, but also because of the recognised expertise and talent of the judges, the selection criteria for the winners based upon the printed photographs and submission in raw format, and last but not least because of the worldwide media impact. I have been very fortunate to have my work shown in London Bridge Exhibition and in the Xposure International Photography Festival in the UAE. There are not many chances to get photographs being seen by more than 2 million people but TPOTY achieves that.”  Katy Gomez Catalina, SpainLatest news New &Coe podcastsIn the new series of &Coe podcasts on Eye for the Light photographers Chris Coe chats with photographers, travellers… Two New Judges for 2025We have a two new judges from the USA joining our judging panel for the 2025 awards.
