About the project
Produced by Creo under its photography strand World Photography Organisation, the internationally acclaimed Sony World Photography Awards is one of the most important fixtures in the global photographic calendar. Now in its 17th year, the free-to-enter Awards are a global voice for photography and provide a vital insight into contemporary photography today.
Made up of four competitions, the Awards rewards exceptional photography series (Professional competition) striking single images (Open competition), photography within an academic environment (Student competition) and budding photographers (Youth competition).
The Awards showcase the works of winning and shortlisted photographers at a prestigious annual exhibition at Somerset House, London. Since 2020, Fotofestival Lenzburg has shown images from the Awards in an exhibition displayed across Lenzburg to coincide with its biannual festival.
