 Each year photographers from around the world enter their pictures into the annual National Geographic photo competition. With more than 13,000 entries, here are the winners from this years' contest. All photos published with permission by National Geographic. Honorable Mention: 'From generation to generation' by Jackson Hung  Category: Places Location: Shalu, Taiwan, Taiwan This photo was taken during Chinese New Year's Eve of 2015 in Taiwan. I noticed how the light was coming into the room as our family members passed incense sticks to each other, sending our prayers and paying respects to our ancestors. The photo is symbolic, as the passing of incense sticks represents the knowledge and wisdom passed down from generation to generation.
Honorable Mention: 'Surrealist painting in nature' by Tugo Cheng  Category: Nature Location: Shihezi, Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu, China As the largest mountain ranges in Central Asia, Tian-shan ('sky-mountain' in Chinese), has one of the best collections of natural landscapes in the world and is seen by many as a paradise for outdoor adventures. Thanks to the richness of sediments compounded with the power of erosion by rivers flowing down the mountains, the north face of Tian-shan is carved into stunning plateaus and colorful canyons hundreds of meters deep, resulting in this surrealist painting in nature.
Honorable Mention: 'The game' by Simone Monte  Category: Places Location: Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
