Increasingly photographers are being asked to shoot video content as well as stills, so this is a chance to show how good you are at doing that. The world is your canvas. Choose your travels – a place, an encounter, an experience, a destination or a journey.
What subjects can you include?
This video category is all about the world we live in but in moving images not stills. You can choose your travels – a place, an encounter, an experience, a destination or a journey. Capture its essence and most of all make the viewer aspire to live the travel you show them.
This category is a standalone award and entries are not considered in selecting the winner of the overall title of Travel Photographer of the Year 2025.
What are the judges looking for?
A short (up to two minute) film which makes them watch from start to finish and gives an insight into a place, an experience, a destination or a journey. You can add a soundtrack (licensed or license-free) either as music or other audio.
How many videos?
One (1) video/short film per entry.

Do I need to shoot new material to be able to enter this category?
No! We have always allowed entrants to submit images from their archives – i.e. contemporary photography shot in recent years – and have always said that ‘travel starts when you leave your home’. So it’s your choice. You can travel locally or travel further afield. Entries close on 13th October.
