The Winners of the 2025 National Geographic Photography Competition Capture Powerful Moments Around the Globe
The winners of the 2025 National Geographic Traveller Photography Competition have been revealed — and the subjects range from a vibrant rainbow staircase in France to a geothermal pool that looks like a dragon’s eye and more. Every year, National Geographic Traveller (UK) organizes the contest, which is open to amateur and professional photographers from the United Kingdom and Ireland, to highlight the best in travel photography. Now in its 13th year, the contest features six categories: People, City Life, Landscape, Wildlife, Food, and Portfolio. Out of thousands of submissions, 18 photographers were selected as finalists before the winning shots were chosen. “Our competition goes from strength to strength, with this year’s easily one of the strongest yet,” said Pat Riddell, editor of the travel magazine.
