(to be announced after a global jury has voted, by 9th December)

The global winners in each of the three categories (“People”, “Places” and “Climate Change”) will receive a trip for two people to any city where Metro is published*.

Additionally, the three global winners will receive international exposure. In December during the announcement – the winners’ photographs will be published in all Metros, with an interview seen by over 17 million readers in 4 continents.

The three global winners will have an option to take photos during the trip. Those photos will be later published globally as a photo story later on during the year.

Moreover, Metro has the intention to publish the best 27 photos from each country in a special Photo Album where it will appear along with the title of the photo and the name of photographer.
