The annual Vero Beach Magazine photo contest brings in stunning images from all over the world

Viajar. Taisteal. Voyage. Viaggio. Siubhal. Rejse. Haere.

No matter the word, they all translate to the same thing. Travel!

The theme of our September issue, as well as the theme of our 2025 Vero Beach Magazine photo contest are one in the same. Hundreds of images came in over our six-week entry period, and boy was it fun to tag along on trips with all of you, with such beautiful scenery, people, and places to encounter along the way.

You visited national parks and monuments, boarded boats, traversed several oceans, and climbed mountains. Some of the braver entrants got up close with wildlife the rest of us only dream to see in person.

So let these following pages of lovely locations and photography be an inspiration; your next adventure awaits!
