The 20 winning images in National Geographic’s “Visions of Paradise” photography contest have been selected. Photographers were asked to submit images that best represented their unique vision of Heaven on Earth. The winners will each receive a customized edition of the National Geographic book “Visions of Paradise,” with their winning photograph as the cover image.

The competition ran in conjunction with the publication of the book “Visions of Paradise,” in which National Geographic photographers were asked to provide images that reflected what they considered as perfect, spellbinding or most divine in the world.
