The Best Of The International Travel & Tourism's Photo Contest

November 27, 2024

The Society of International Travel & Tourism Photographers welcomes professional and enthusiast photographers whose interests are capturing the scenes around the world. Their 2016 My Voyage of Discovery competition asked photographers to submit images from anything on their travels. More than 530 images were submitted showcasing everything from beautiful nature scenes to showing how the locals live and work. Jewel Chakma from Bangladesh was the winner of the competition for her peaceful photo of a Buddhist monk on his way to collect food.

The winning shot was Jewel Chakma from Bangladesh's photo showing a Buddhist monk in a boat. The photo shows the monk traveling through the mist, on his way to collect food from villagers. Locals call it Pindusoron. It is a system that monks use to get fed.
