30. januar: I 2015-utgaven av den prestisjetunge kåringen Sony World Photography Awards vil en ny pris dedikert mobilfotografi bli inkludert.

Dagens kamerateknologi i mobiltelefoner har skapt økt tilgjengelighet for fotografer. Nærmest alle øyeblikk i dag kan fanges på film, og alle med tilgang til en mobiltelefon kan dokumentere sitt dagligliv visuelt. Mobil-kategorien i Sony World Photography Award 2015 anerkjenner denne kreative friheten og måten mobilkameraet har bidratt til å redefinere fotografers tilnærming til sin kunst.

Mobilkategorien ble åpnet for bidrag den 27. januar med frist for innsendelse den 27. februar, samtidig som bidrag til resten av kategoriene må være inne. Deltakelse er gratis på www.worldphoto.org.
