Travel Photographer of the Year winners revealed
February 9, 2021
The winning images in the 2020 Travel Photographer of the Year awards (TPOTY) have been announced. The global spread of the awards, now in their 19th year, can be seen in the fact that almost 25,000 images were submitted from 47 countries, with Vladimir Alekseev becoming TPOTY’s first-ever Russian overall winner.
The winning shots – which can all be viewed in the online Winners’ Gallery – will go on display in Coal Drops Yard, King’s Cross, London, from 12 May to 10 June and in other TPOTY exhibitions, including Chester Cathedral, during 2021 (Covid permitting)
“The pandemic inevitably had an impact, with some entrants submitting images taken close to home during lockdown, while others photographed countries in which they had unexpectedly found themselves stranded as temporary long-term residents,” said the organisers.
