The Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest is definitely one of the most highly anticipated photo competitions every year. During this 17th annual run, the judges of the contest chose between dozens of thousands of submissions from 145 countries, and from this huge list of incredible photos, they have selected the 60 best finalists. The photos encompass a variety of moving and mesmerizing topics, and in the end, winners will be announced across each category, and an overall winner will be chosen as well. One of the awards, the People’s Choice Award, is completely up to the public eye, and you can visit the Smithsonian Magazine Website to choose your own until March 31, 2020, from the complete list of finalists.
