The winners of the National Geographic Photography Competition have been revealed.

Every year National Geographic Traveller organizes the contest to highlight the best in travel photography.

It is open to both amateur and professional photographers who submit their best travel images taken during the past year.

Grand prize winner: Justin Cliffe, Vietnam. The photographer said: “The Red Dao minority people of Lao Cai Province are one of Vietnam’s most distinctive ethnic groups, largely due to their headdresses. Here, a woman sits at the door of her property working on some embroidery with her great granddaughter. Their intricate embroidery is a skill passed down from mother to daughter and further generations.”

Now in its 13th year, the contest features six categories: People, City Life, Landscape, Wildlife, Food, and Portfolio.

The grand prize winner was Justin Cliffe, who captured a striking image of a woman from the Red Dao minority in Lao Cai Province, northwest Vietnam, embroidering at the door of her property alongside her great-granddaughter.

Other highlights include a fox chasing an owl in Spain and an endangered female lynx drinking from a pond, also in Spain.
