Following last month’s People Award, we are delighted to showcase a selection of exceptional entries. While these finalists didn't take home the top prize, their extraordinary quality and artistry left a lasting impression.

We’re constantly amazed by the quality of images we receive for our monthly awards, and 2025 has been one of our strongest yet. This year brought some truly remarkable work, showcasing the creativity, vision, and skill of photographers across the medium. From thousands of submissions, we’ve selected ten of the best images shot in 2025 that stood out for their originality, impact, and artistry, each offering a fresh perspective on our world.
