Entries are open for the CEWE Photo Award 2019, one of the largest photography competitions in the world – and we've been given a sneak peek into some of the most breathtaking submissions received so far.
From extreme close-ups like the photo at the top, 'She is so beautiful, she is mine' taken by Sylvie Schmuttermeier, to the striking shot of golden sand and beach below, ‘Ozeane’ captured by Doris Wahler on Namibia’s west coast, there are some stunning entries in the running.
CEWE's motto is "Our World is Beautiful" and the organisers say they want to encourage photographers to show off their unique perspective of the world.
The shot below, ‘Blue city’ taken by Jurica Galic captures a woman framed by the blue walls of Jodphur, India as she walks through the city.
