We received more than 34,000 submissions in this year's It's Amazing Out There Photo Contest. Both professional and amateur photographers alike sent in their best images featuring weather, nature and adventure for a chance to win the $15,000 Grand Prize.

We narrowed down the stunning submissions to 50 finalists, and from there, a panel of judges selected the three winners. The Grand Prize winner will receive $15,000, while the second prize winner will receive an award of $5,000. The third place photographer wins $2,500.

In addition, our readers were tasked with selecting three Fan Favorite winners. For three weeks, voting was open and viewers voted for their favorite photos daily. The photo with the most votes will receive a prize consisting of $1,000. The second highest scoring photo wins $750, and the photographer of the photo with the third highest amount of votes receives $500.
