All About Photo Award 2026 Announces Winners with Steve McCurry as Juror

The All About Photo Award 2026, now in its eleventh year, has announced 45 winning works from 15 countries across four continents, selected by American photojournalist and Magnum Photo Agency member Steve McCurry. The edition's theme is 'The Mind's Eye'. Among the five standout images highlighted are Andrew Newey's 'The Honey Hunters of Nepal', documenting Gurung honey hunters in the Himalayan foothills of central Nepal who risk their lives twice a year to harvest honey from the world's largest honeybee, a tradition threatened by commercial interests and climate change. Archie Cludven's 'Reaching for Heaven' captures fishermen returning from their catch along a national highway. Marie Kent's 'Mending Nets' depicts a local woman mending a fishing net by hand on the Thu Bon River in Hoi An, Vietnam. Chris Yan's 'Sunset at the Temple of Heaven' shows the 15th-century UNESCO World Heritage site in Beijing, built in 1420 for Ming/Qing emperors. Gavin Libotte's 'Chinoiserie' was shot spontaneously at Barangaroo in Sydney CBD, inspired by Henri Cartier-Bresson's concept of 'the decisive moment'.
