One of our favourite Wanderlust diary dates finally arrived for 2022's Travel Photo of the Year – the UK’s largest amateur travel photography competition. After a year off due to the pandemic, the Wanderlust Travel Photo of the Year competition came to a head at Destinations London. With submissions being taken throughout the year, all finalists were on display in a stunning gallery that you could visit within the show's halls.

This year, four winners won a trip of a lifetime to capture the magic of Singapore on camera. Post-pandemic, Singapore is open and easy to visit. Enjoy quarantine-free travel in Singapore regardless of your COVID-19 vaccination status, subject to pre-departure testing for those not fully vaccinated.

Winners were announced at the show on Friday 3rd February 2023.

Judges comments:

"The light is very special and isolation of the subject is focused"
