More than a competition
A Learning Experience

For the serious traveller, Traveller Magazine is a mine of information, keeping you up-to-date with the latest trends in travel and tourism.

Every entry receives a short comment about how their photograph has gone and how the judges think it could be improved. Many photographers enter just for the feedback as it is incredibly useful - how often do you get to show your work to a Grand Master of Photography and receive a comment?

Comments are available after judging.

How well will you go this year?
Gold, Silver or Bronze?

For the serious traveller, Traveller Magazine is a mine of information, keeping you up-to-date with the latest trends in travel and tourism.

Our competition is designed to encourage you. The majority of entries score Bronze or higher, indicating that the judges can see sparks of brilliance or potential in your entries. However, the real aim is to earn Silver because this means you truly have reached professional standards. And Gold? Only a few reach these heights because you really have impressed all three of the judges - and that's to be congratulated.

Enter four images and get the next one free!
