The Epson International Pano Awards is all about panoramic photography. It showcases the work of photographers worldwide, and this year’s competition received a record of 5,859 entries. 1,452 professional and amateur photographers from 96 countries competed to win the title of the overall winner, and Matt Jackisch from Canada won the contest with his image Spring Hibernation.

“I spent a blissful day snowshoeing in the BC Coastal Mountains in March. With such a deep snowpack, it was still very wintery up high,” Jackisch said when explaining how he took the photo. The runner-up in the Open category was Colin Leonhardt from Australia for his image Mine Waste. The competition also recognizes the winner in the Amateur category.
