Out of 26,600 images submitted by photographers from 93 countries, the Washington-based institution selected ten finalists in six categories, and anyone can vote for the Readers’ Choice Award. The winners will be announced on March 31, 2015.
"The finalists range from a serene sunrise canoe in Minnesota to a train ride in Myanmar to a vicuña wandering the grasslands of the Andes," the journal explains. "Some moments were sought out, others captured by chance."
Take a look at some of the most striking images from the contest, and see a full gallery on Smithsonian's website.
