Landscape Award Editors’ Picks of April 2021

Following the results of last month’s landscape competition judged by German photographer Hannes Becker, the editorial team is delighted to share some of their favorite images.

The quality of submitted works was truly outstanding and we have therefore decided to broaden the usual top 10 editor’s picks to a top 20 selection of the most stunning images that were shared with us.

We’d like to express our gratitude to all the photographers who took the time and care to share their work with us. Especially in these times of global challenges and home confinements – Thank you for reminding us of all the natural beauty that surrounds us and for bringing us all on your journey to the most spectacular places on our planet.
