More than 4,500 entries were received in this year’s landscape-photography competition from professional and amateur photographers around the world. Judges of the eighth International Landscape Photographer of the Year contest narrowed the field down to a “Top 101” and then further, to award several category prizes and the International Landscape Photographer of the Year award, which went to Aytek Çetin. The organizers were once more kind enough to share some of this year’s top and winning images below.
