If you think your point-and-shoot holiday snaps are works of unparalleled beauty and the result of a rare creative genius, it’s time to put your money – or at least your celluloid – where your mouth is. This year’s Travel Photographer of the Year competition is open for entries, with the winner’s prize-haul including £5,000, a collection of Cutty Sark whisky and a bespoke surfboard.

Entries for Travel Photographer of the Year close on 1 October. See tpoty.com for more details.
