The annual competition aims to highlight the best travel photos from around the globe taken by UK and Ireland-based photographers, both amateurs and professionals.
Cliffe’s prize-winning image was chosen from six category winners across the themes of landscape, people, wildlife, food, city life and portfolio.
Our competition goes from strength to strength, with this year’s easily one of the strongest yet, Pat Riddell, editor of National Geographic Traveller (UK), said in the release.
The six category winners can be viewed in the gallery above.
Capturing everything from the dramatic landscapes of Iceland and Italy to incredible wildlife shots in Spain and Canada, the 18 finalists – who made the cut from thousands of entries – have really elevated the level of travel photography with their ingenuity and skill, Riddell added.
