In 2023, photographers from NATO forces took thousands of pictures documenting this historic year. They captured the magnitude of landmark political events like the 2023 NATO Summit in Vilnius, the grit and cooperation of Allied troops conducting NATO exercises, and other moments of beauty, unity and humanity. We chose four of our favourite photos and put them to a vote on social media, asking the public to choose NATO’s photo of the year for 2023. And the winner is...

NATO's photo of the year for 2023:
