Fotografen van over de hele wereld hebben nog maar één maand om deel te nemen aan de 11^e editie van de Sony World Photography Awards. De World Photography Organisation geeft vandaag een nieuwe selectie van inzendingen uit de Open-wedstrijd vrij. De beelden komen uit verschillende continenten en gaan over de meest uiteenlopende onderwerpen - variërend van intieme portretten tot ongerepte natuur.

De Sony World Photography Awards wordt gezien als een van de meest toonaangevende awards in de wereld van de fotografie. Veel van haar genomineerde en winnende fotografen genieten dan ook van wereldwijde erkenning.

Fotograaf Simon Butterworth (VK, genomineerd, Professional-wedstrijd, Landscape, 2015): "De impact van deze award voor mijn carrière mag niet worden onderschat. Mijn foto’s werden aan de hele wereld getoond. De huidige belangstelling voor mijn werk is nog steeds het gevolg van hiervan."

Foto’s inzenden voor de awards kan gratis via www.worldphoto.org/swpa
