Lyn Hughes, editor-in-chief of Wanderlust magazine said: ‘Every year, I am in awe of the high standard of photography and how inspired and passionate the travellers who captured these images are.’
Hughes added: ‘As always, it will be incredibly difficult to pick a winner from this fantastic shortlist.’
The four best amateurs will win a photo commission to Australia, and the overall winner of the portfolio segment will pocket £3,000.
The best entries were first showcased at the Destinations 2016 event in Manchester earlier this month.
