The Magical Adventures Photo Contest, presented by the Kenya Tourist Board & Outdoor Photographer, was one of our most exciting and successful photo competitions to date. We received more than 4,000 photo submissions across the three categories of Nature/Landscapes, Culture/People and Wildlife. "Once again, the images we received were extraordinary. In each category we received a number of inspiring photographs. Having so many high-caliber images made judging a challenge as it was difficult to eliminate many photographs," commented Christopher Robinson, Editor of Outdoor Photographer. "The bar has been raised yet again."

In the following online gallery, we showcase the best of the best, including Grand Prize Winner Paul Marcellini's "Pine Sunset." The First Place Winners from each category, Michael Payne (Nature/Landscapes), Ashley Adams (Culture/People) and Robert Winslow (Wildlife), have their photos shown here as well. And the People's Choice Winners from each category, determined by readers from around the world, are also below.
