Perhaps one of the most striking photos submitted to the competition actually came from deep in the heart of a huge, light-polluted city on Earth.
The image shows star trails streaking above Hong Kong and won the "People & Space" category of the competition.

"The winning entries, and indeed the whole field, show that the entrants' technical abilities and creative eye have never been sharper. They capture the quiet, majestic beauty of the night sky above a world that’s increasingly frenetic and light-polluted.”
