The latest winning images from the international Travel Photographer of the Year awards make their public debut in a superb, free-to-view exhibition at London’s Royal Geographical Society (with IBG).

From the exuberance of a community festival at a mud mosque in Mali to mesmerising views of ‘snow monkeys’ in Japan, and from sweeping landscapes and cityscapes to the minutiae of an ant colony and remarkable, close-up detail of lions on the hunt, the award-winning images document the magnificence, beauty and poignancy of this planet and its inhabitants, through the eyes of the amateur and professional photographers who beat entrants from almost 100 countries to take the top places in one of the world’s most prestigious photography awards.

The gallery shop will sell postcards and greetings cards featuring some of the exhibited images, and visitors also have the opportunity to be the first to buy the new Travel Photographer of the Year book ‘Journey Six’. Featuring the winning images that are displayed in the exhibition, this beautiful new book goes on sale for the first time on July 11th.

Last year’s exhibition broke all attendance records for the Society, bringing in over 48,000 visitors in just 38 days, all keen to see world-class travel photography within an historic setting. One visitor found it so inspiring that he arranged with the TPOTY team to stage his marriage proposal there - and happily the lady in question said 'yes'!

The exhibition should provide the perfect inspiration for those considering taking part in the 2014 awards, which are open for entry until October 1st.
