People’s Choice Vote 2025

The TPOTY judges are choosing their winners, but now it’s your turn! If you think judging is easy now’s your chance! Vote for your favourite shot below and help us to find out which image is this year’s People’s Choice!

How this People’s Choice vote works

All you have to do is chose your favourite image from a selection of Finalist images below. You don’t have to worry about categories or themes. But you only get one vote.

Simply make your choice and submit your vote on the form below the gallery. You have until 12th January 2026 to vote.

Announcing the winner

The winner will be announced along with the 2025 results in January 2026.

We’ll do a prize draw from everyone’s votes after voting closes. Anyone can win – you don’t have to have voted for the People’s Choice winning image. You could be the lucky voter who wins a selection of books, greetings cards and postcards from TPOTY.

To view any image bigger simply click on one to view as a slideshow.

PHOTOGRAPHERS – The images above are a small selection from this year’s shortlisted entries from all categories, including Young Travel Photographer of the Year (YTPOTY).

The inclusion of any image(s) in this vote has no bearing on whether you will be a winner, or not, in the main award. Similarly, if your images aren’t included this does not mean that you haven’t won in the main award either. Some images work best as part of a set (portfolio) while others don’t lend themselves to the small screen.

Winners will be announced along with the winners of the main TPOTY 2025 awards in January 2026 and no correspondence on the winners will be entered into.
