The Travel Photographer of the Year has been recognizing the best photographs from around the world for the past few years. Unfortunately, like most of the photo contest awards, they don’t display the winner very accessibly on their own website.

However, newspaper sites do a much better job displaying the winners in slideshows, so I’ve been able to collect links to some of them.

I’m also adding a link to this “The Best..” list to The Best Sites For Learning About The World’s Different Cultures.

Here are The Best Travel Photographs Of The Year:

The BBC has an audio slideshow displaying the 2010 winners.
