There’s something special about watching photographers all over the world head out for Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk™, each capturing the stories and details that make their corner of the globe unique. This year’s collection did not disappoint. Scott and Erik spent time on a recent episode of The Grid raving about the photo contest entrants—praising the bold colors, creative compositions, and the kinds of moments you only catch when you’re out walking with a camera. Now, we’re delighted to share the winners and finalists from the 14th Annual Worldwide Photo Walk.

THANKS TO OUR PHOTO WALK LEADERS

Leading a Photo Walk is no small task, and we’re incredibly grateful to the volunteers around the world who step up each year. Our walk leaders plan their routes, guide their groups, manage the local contest, and help create an amazing experience for every participant. The Worldwide Photo Walk simply wouldn’t exist without them, and we appreciate everything they do to bring these events to life in their communities.

We’d also like to congratulate this year’s Leader category winner:

LEADER WINNER | SAHAL ABDEL RAHMAN

A WALK WITH PURPOSE & COMMUNITY

A huge thank-you to everyone who participated this year—our walkers, our leaders, and all who submitted their images. Your passion and creativity are what make the Worldwide Photo Walk such a special tradition, and we’re grateful for this amazing community. We’re also honored to continue walking for a purpose by supporting Springs of Hope Kenya, and there’s always time to donate if you’d like to make a difference. You can also view every walk’s submissions in our official gallery hosted by SlickPic. I’m already looking forward to next year’s event!
