During our time of social distancing and virtual learning, we have returned to our archives to bring back previous winners to be revisited, and enjoyed, for this year’s online exhibition. Every photograph is more than a pretty picture. Every photograph captures a moment in time, a perspective, a story. Every photograph is a reminder that, even though we are unable to cover the physical distance and see distant lands and cultures, we are all still global citizens.

"Acknowledge the sadness of our imposed distance and yet serve up good memories, like a window to look out of as we dream of once again roaming all over the world."
