A collection of stunning images from the international Travel Photographer of the Year awards (TPOTY) currently features for the first time in Malta at Spazju Kreattiv, Valletta.

Over the years, TPOTY has grown into one of the largest and most prestigious, international travel photography competitions. It has showcased thousands of beautiful, intriguing, moving and inspirational photographs covering every element of travel and related photographic genres.

This retrospective, curated by Patrick J. Fenech, is TPOTY’s first international show outside the UK and presents 80 of the very best images from the past 13 years of TPOTY awards.

The TPOTY exhibition is held annually in London and the awards themselves attract many travel photographers, both amateurs and professionals, from across the globe, including Malta.

Each year, the awards showcase images of an exceptionally high standard and unique diversity, ranging from pictures of people, cultures and landscape to wildlife and adventure from around the world.

The Maltese exhibition is organised by the Farsons Foundation in collaboration with Spazju Kreattiv and is part of the inaugural celebration of the new Beer Packaging Facility at the Farsons Brewery in Mrieħel.

In addition to the TPOTY exhibition, the Farsons Foundation is showcasing key milestones in the creation and conservation of Simonds Farsons Cisk’s industrial buildings and heritage.

These include designs of Farsons’ newly built €27 million Beer Packaging Facility (2016), the €12.5 million Brewhouse (2012), the Beer Process Building and Tank Farm (1990), as well as the re-adaptation of Farsons’ 1950s buildings into a new Farsons Business Park (2017-2020).

■ The exhibition is being held at the upper galleries, Space C1-C4, at Spazju Kreattiv, Valletta until October 9. For more information, visit http://tpoty.com .
