Wish You Were Here?
When these breathtaking images were released by CEWE Photo Award – the world’s largest photo competition – we just had to share them. Now that travel is opening up once again, is it time to book your next adventure?
CEWE’s collection of new travel and culture images taken by photographers on their travels as part of this year’s CEWE Photo Award, aims to celebrate the best of photography across the globe.
The competition, now in its fourth edition, launched for entries between May 2020 and May 2021, with a theme of ‘Our World is Beautiful’ – and judging by these photographs it certainly lived up to that sentiment.
Clare Moreton, photo expert at CEWE UK, said:
The travel and culture category always provides some of the most beautiful and standout images as they offer a really unique perspective of the wonders people see all across the world. If you’re looking ahead to your next travelling adventure, these photos are sure to provide you with an array of inspiration.
