We show it to you every year.. the winners of our all time favourite photography contest. This 2014 edition with more than 9,200 entries submitted from over 150 countries, with professional photographers and amateur photo enthusiasts across the globe participating. Photographs were submitted in three categories: people, places and nature. And here are the grand prize winners..

1. Grand Prize and People Winner – A node glows in the dark

Story: In the last 10 years, mobile data, smart phones and social networks have forever changed our existence. Although this woman stood at the center of a jam packed train, but the warm glow from her phone tells the strangers around her that she’s not really here. She managed to slip away from here, for a short moment, she’s a node flickering on the social web, roaming the earth, free as a butterfly. Our existence is no longer stuck to the physical here, we’re free to run away, and run we will. Location: Hong Kong

2. Nature Winner – The great migration

Story: Jump of the wildebeest at the Mara river. Location: North Serengeti, Tanzania

3. Places Winner – Bathing in Budapest

Story: The Thermal Spa in Budapest is one of the favourite activities of the Hungarian especially in winter. We were fortunate to gain special access to shoot in the Thermal Spa thanks to our tour guide, Gabor. I love how the mist caused by the great difference in temperature between the hot spa water and the atmosphere. It makes the entire spa experience more surreal and mystical. Location: Budapest, Hungary

4. Honorable Mention Nature – Untitled

Story: On a windy day right after a Cyclone passed the far northern Great Barrier Reef i took some friends out to the reef. Never before i saw that many glass fish on this particular coral ‘bommie’ . Just when i setup my camera, this Napoleon Wrasse swam right through the school of fish building a living frame.Location: Cairns, Great Barrier Reef, Flynn Reef, Australia

5. Honorable Mention Nature – Muscle Power

Story: This playful fight amongst two young sub adult Tigers was indeed a brilliant life time opportunity that lasted exactly 4-5 seconds. The cubs were sitting in the grass as dusk approached when suddenly one of them sneaked up behind the other and what happened next is captured in this image. Location: Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh, India

7. Honorable Mention Nature – Stag Deer Bellowing

Story: Stag Deer Bellowing in Richmond Park. Location: Richmond Park, London, UK

11. Honorable Mention Places – Tokyo – Shinagawa Station

Story: I was up at an ungodly hour to make it to the Tsukiji Fish Market, in Tokyo. With so many amazing things to see in the city, I had hardly slept, and managed to get off at the wrong station. Wave after wave of people kept coming through the station passageway. I spied a coffee shop with a vantage point and managed to snap a free shots, camera resting on the ledge. After the caffeine kicked in, i was ready to brave the river of people… Location: Shinagawa Station, Tokyo, Japan

13. Honorable Mention Places – Destroyed Homes

Story: Birds fly over the destroyed houses in Khalidiya district in Homs, Syria. In the vast stillness of the destroyed city center of Homs, there are large areas where nothing moves. Then, suddenly, wind blows a ripped awning, or birds fly overhead. Location: Homs, Syria.

14. Honorable Mention Nature – Zebras and the rim of the Crater

Story: Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania, is the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera. It is a collapsed volcano that harbours a range of African wildlife that live in relatively close proximity and competition of each other.
