This year more than 18,000 entries were submitted from 60 countries, with Mikolaj Nowacki taking the overall title (and a £3,000 Fjällräven Award) for his picture of a sailor braving significant rollers in the Baltic Sea.

The book features more than 150 winning and commended entries, so there's something for everyone.
