SONY WORLD PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS - COMPETITIONS

 * Professional competition
 * Open Competition
 * Youth Competiton
 * Student Competition

 * Architecture & Design The judges are looking for the ability to capture
   three-dimensional worlds in two dimensions, whilst retaining the original
   qualities. Subject matter can be wide-ranging from structures and interiors
   to exteriors and urban landscapes designed with an architectural approach.
   Key to the project are elements such as light, scale, angles, lines and
   design features.
   Creative Judges are looking to reward originality, experimentation and
   imagination. This category actively encourages the creative use of the medium
   of photography in all its forms, from photograms to cutting-edge photographic
   techniques. Subject matter can be varied and may include abstract and
   conceptual ideas, but a creative concept and thematic link between the images
   is key.
   Documentary Projects The judges want bodies of work that give the facts and
   information about a chosen subject. This could offer insight into a
   contemporary issue or clearly present a factual story with a news or current
   affairs agenda. Image processing is allowed but it is the responsibility of
   the photographer to not manipulate or enhance the images in such a way that
   they distort or change the reality of the scene shot.
   Environment Judges are seeking bodies of work that showcase the surrounding
   or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates. Work
   should be fine art in its approach and address environmental issues affecting
   the world today.
   Landscape Showing spaces within the world in all their varieties, from large
   scale aerials to intimate views. Judges will focus on the aesthetic quality
   of the final images.
   Portraiture Judges are looking for interesting, original, strong and
   evocative photographs, and the category should be interpreted in its widest
   sense. The resulting images should demonstrate a likeness to the subject and
   may convey expression, emotion and / or personality.
   Portfolio This category is dedicated to images that aren’t related to each
   other in subject matter or narrative, but where the quality of the image and
   the photographer’s technical skills are evident and consistent throughout the
   submission. Images must be taken in the last three years, with a minimum
   number of 5 images from 2023.
   Wildlife & Nature Judges are looking for artistic images of our natural,
   physical or material world. The category should be understood in its widest
   sense, from flora and fauna to animals and wildlife.
   Still Life Often a group or an arrangement of objects, Still Life typically
   depicts inanimate subject matters. The approach can be classic or innovative
   and bold. Judges will closely consider the interpretation of the subject
   (composition, lighting and framing) when viewing the work.
   Sport Judges are looking for images that capture the intensity, emotions and
   action of the chosen sport subject. It could be professional or amateur, the
   focus could be on the sportsperson, the sport environment, the effort
   expended, the struggle or conflict or the rewards, but a strong narrative
   must be present.
   
 * Architecture The photographing of buildings or structures, this can be real
   or an interpretation of a building but the work must have an intended
   aesthetic.
   Creative A photograph which uses the medium of photography creatively.
   Technically manipulated images - such as abstract, panoramic, stitched and
   composite, amongst others - are welcomed.
   Motion Capturing movement within a single, still image.
   Landscape Your view of the physical world. Open wide to interpretation, this
   category covers landscapes, mountains, glaciers, plants and more.
   Lifestyle Photographs of people in situations or events. The image should
   tell the story of the person while documenting the scene in an artistic
   manner. Images are meant to appear natural but can be directed or shot
   candidly. Editorial, fashion, family and event photography can all overlap
   with lifestyle.
   Natural World & Wildlife Images of the natural environment and all within it.
   Object Typically depicting inanimate subject matter, often a group or an
   arrangement of objects devoid of human presence. This can include photography
   for commercial and advertising purposes but must show the photographer’s
   artistic approach.
   Portraiture The photographer should clearly show the expression and emotion
   of the person / group of people being photographed. Normally the subject is
   aware that the photograph is being taken and there is a relationship between
   the sitter and the portrait.
   Street Photography An image that records everyday life in a public space.
   Travel Inspiring images from your travels; the journeys may be close to home
   or further afield.
   
 * Through Your Eyes What is your (and your generation's) perception of the
   world? From your family to the local environment to your day-to-day life,
   show us what – through your eyes – are the subjects and themes you want to
   photograph and share? Whatever the genre, technique or subject matter, we
   want to see your photographs.
   
 * Home A universal theme that can be interpreted in myriad ways, show us
   through five to 10 images a story where the theme ‘Home’ is the focal point.
   From capturing a place that you (or a subject) hold close, to documenting
   quotidian life, to what home symbolises to a group or community, show us in
   your own visual signature what home can signify. You might want to think
   about the theme beyond the physical sense: home can for many unlock memories
   and trigger events from the past.
