Photography has the unmatched ability to challenge, entertain and inspire us. From cutting-edge conceptual works to portraiture and current affairs, it’s a medium with the extraordinary power to inform and enrich our daily lives.

Sony is proud to support today’s most innovative creative talent as sponsor of the Sony World Photography Awards.

The acclaimed (pronounced Alpha) family of digital SLR cameras, lenses and accessories from Sony offers limitless creative possibilities for photographers of all abilities.

Smart, stylish and colourful, the chic new range of Cyber-shot™ cameras makes it brilliantly easy to take better-looking pictures, whatever you’re doing.

Now in its third year, the Sony World Photography Awards has rapidly established a reputation as one of the most influential and internationally respected competitions of its kind.

Sony strengthens its commitment to this unique contest by extending the Campaign Award category, a showcase for amateur photographers globally.

We look forward with great pleasure to welcoming a fresh wave of creative talent in this special celebration of the power of beautiful images.
