This year, National Geographic Traveler evaluated over 18,000 photos submitted to its competition, where Slovenian photographer Marko Korošec won the first prize with his apocalyptic photo. However, this was far from the only photo contest this year, which was astounded by the participation and photos. We have presented quite a few of them to you over the years, but with such a crowd, some winners were unfairly eliminated, but now they are getting their place under the sun. We present to you a selection of the best winning photos of 2014.
Commission thematic competitions around the world had a tough job again this year, but in the end they had to decide only on some photos, even though others would have deserved the award. But of the best there can only be so much. Check out which ones licked the cake off the cream.
