The 2022 version of this award showing the magic and beauty of our world underwater and on land, up in the mountains and down in the plains are a real treat.
The competition, now in its ninth year, is open to both amateur and professional photographers. “We're constantly amazed at the lengths photographers go to, whether physically in the landscape or creatively in post-production,” said Peter Eastway, chairman of the competition.
"When judging photographs, we always run a difficult knife edge between simplicity and complexity, but more than anything this year, the pictures seemed to reflect a very intense personal response by the photographers to their subject and its treatment,” one of the judges, David Burnett, observed.
The first prize for the best single photo went to American Martin Broen for the photo of a diver swimming inside a flooded cave in Mexico, Yucatan. This, and five others of our favourites, can be viewed below.
