PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR 2020 WINNERS
by Team Africa Geographic, Friday, 05 June 2020
Our Photographer of the Year 2020 competition, brought to you by Airlink, with a stunning safari prize provided by Djuma Private Game Reserve has drawn to a close and, after a month of judging, we have whittled down 37,853 entries to a winner, two runners-up and 12 highly commended images.
MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO:
What a privilege it has been for us to judge some of the best images ever taken of this achingly beautiful continent we call home.
And this year was super-tough – with so many outstanding images that deserve to go further than they did. On top of that, we again broke all previous records, with 37,853 submissions – a whopping 27% increase over last year!
Our judging is based on whether the image evokes an emotion, tells a story and reflects the true diversity and amazingness of Africa. Of course, there are technical issues to consider, and these are important. But most important for us is that the photograph breaks through the clutter of everyday life and makes you FEEL Africa’s pulse.
I would like to thank our sponsors, who support wholeheartedly our ongoing pursuit of individuality and authenticity.
Above all, our thanks to everybody who submitted photographs for consideration. Without your impressions of life in the far-flung corners of this great continent, we would all be the poorer. Please do so again in 2021 (submissions open on 1 December 2020).
Simon Espley, Africa Geographic CEO
