Travel Photography of the Year 2019

Travel Photography of the Year 2019 has come to an end – a prestigious photo competition that takes place annually since 2003 and involves tens of thousands of photographers – both amateur and professional – from hundreds of countries around the world. This year the first place took an amateur photographer, veterinarian Katy Gomez Catalina – the first-ever Spanish overall winner and the second-ever female overall winner in the awards’ 17-year history.

The works of the winners of Travel Photography of the Year in different nominations from year to year are exhibited at the most prestigious platforms in London – from the Royal Geographical Society to the University of Greenwich. This year they can be seen from April 7 to May 12 in a new location – the rebuilt Coal Drop Yard shopping center in King’s Cross district, once not the most prosperous railway district, which became one of the fashion centers of the capital. This is one of key construction projects of King's Cross.
