Earlier in the week, the winners of the International Landscape Photographer of the Year 2023 were announced, which we reported on here.

However, this competition also acknowledges the Top 101 photographs submitted and prints them in the book, even if they didn’t win an award. ILPOTY say this is because, “once you reach a certain level of brilliance, is it really possible to definitively say one photograph is better than another?” Therefore, Lens Front have decided to look through these Top 101 and select our personal favourites to share here with our readers. We may be calling them ‘non-winners’ but to be part of the Top 101 after over 4,000 entries is a huge achievement itself!

What are some of your favourites from the Top 101? Take a look at the full Top 101 here and comment below!
