Louis Montrose har blitt kåret til Travel Photographer of the Year 2011 i konkurransen ved samme navn. Prisen fikk han for to ulike bildeserier. Den ene serien er fra en landsby i Burkina Faso, mens den andre dokumenterer festivalen Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) i Oaxaca, Mexico. Montrose er bosatt i USA og ga opp en suksessrik karriere som professor for å bli fotograf på fulltid.
17 år gamle Arne Hansen fra Tyskland ble kåret til årets unge reisefotograf. Prisen fikk han for en bildeserie som skal vise den fysiske innvirkningen reising har på naturen.
I tillegg ble det kåret årets beste porteføljer og enkeltbilder innen rekke kategorier. Blant vinnerbildene finnes temaer som reinsdyrgjetere i Russland, gateliv i Senegal og fargerike bilder av London.
Ingen norske fotografer tok pris i årets konkurranse, men Johnny Haglund fikk hederlig omtale i to kategorier.
Travel Photograper of the Year har blitt arrangert årlig siden 2003. I år deltok fotografer fra 90 land. Vinnerbildene skal stilles ut i London sommeren 2012. Mer informasjon på www.tpoty.com
