Travel Award Editors’ Picks of August 2023

“If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine, it’s lethal.” – Paulo Coelho

Following last month’s travel competition, judged by world-renowned Magnum photographer Steve McCurry, we’re thrilled to present some of our editorial team’s standout entries. ⁠

⁠While these images didn’t make it to the final selection, they encompass a diversity of unique and fascinating subjects captured across the globe, and left us in awe with their exceptional quality, creativity, and the way they articulately conveyed the sheer joy of travel. We firmly believe they deserve their moment in the spotlight! ⁠
