For more than the past decade, Apple’s been hosting an annual competition where users can submit their favorite images shot on one of the brand’s phones. The winners for the Best iPhone Photography challenge this year have just been announced, and they’re absolutely stunning. The 10 selected winners will be compensated by Apple, along with being featured in Apple marketing materials and on the “Shot on iPhone” billboards in select cities all over the world. The winners this year came from countries ranging from Singapore and Germany, to Belarus and the US, with subject matters ranging from bright city scenery and reflections, to perfectly captured animals and picturesque landscapes. With an international panel of judges like Pete Souza (chief White House photographer for Obama), Luísa Dörr (TIME’s First issues photographer) and Austin Mann (Nat Geo / CNN) among others, you can be sure the competition was quite stiff. Check out all the shots here, and learn more about what the judges thought about each one over at Apple.

The PAX Plus Vaporizer Is as Elegant as It Is Effective
Whether at home or on-the-go, when it comes to vaporizers, we want it all. We want to be able to use full flower or potent concentrates depending on the mood–and keep it smooth without any harsh smoke. We want multiple modes for unique combinations of flavor and vapor. We want an oven that’s as easy to clean as it is adjustable depending on the length of the session. Sounds impossible, right? It’s not with PAX Plus. In addition to packing all those features into one perfectly portable device, it’s also one the most sleek and stylish products that’s come out recently.
