December 4, 2018: Photographers worldwide have just one month left to enter the 12th annual Sony World Photography Awards' Professional, Open and Youth competitions. Open to all, submissions to these global and prestigious awards are free at www.worldphoto.org/swpa.
To mark the closing deadlines, leading professional artists describe the unique worldwide platform the awards provide and highlight the benefits to their careers, which includes international press exposure, gallery representation and book deals.
Alongside this, the World Photography Organisation, the creators of the awards, releases a new selection of entries to the 2019 Awards. Submitted by photographers from around the world, the images cover a wide variety of topics taken from the ten categories of the Open Competition, which is judged on a single image.
The internationally acclaimed Sony World Photography Awards are one of the most important fixtures on the global photographic calendar. Annually, the awards recognise the best contemporary photography from the past year and celebrate a wide variety of photographic genres.
Scott Gray, CEO and founder of the World Photography Organisation comments: Each year, the Sony World Photography Awards uncovers emerging photographic talent and gives established artists a global audience for their work. I look forward to seeing the entries, and the our esteemed judges' selection.
Yann Salmon-Legagneur, Director Product Marketing, Sony Europe adds: The Sony World Photography Awards is a platform to celebrate photography in all its diversity, as well as showcasing incredible talent from around the globe.
Below three established contemporary photographers describe how their success at the Sony World Photography Awards positively influenced their career development. Their testimonies reveal the awards' success at promoting the talent of exceptional photographers:
Worldwide exposure and entering collectionsAcclaimed Portuguese photographer Edgar Martins grew up in Macau (China) and studied Photography and Social Sciences at the University of the Arts and the Royal College of Art, London. He has represented Macau as part of the 54th Venice Biennale, and his work has been exhibited widely across the world and is held in major museum collections. He achieved success in both the 2009 and 2018 Sony World Photography Awards. Speaking of this, Martins says: The media response to the awards was overwhelming, with extensive press and TV coverage all over the world. Apart from providing my work a huge international platform it has also brought my images to the consciousness of collectors, curators, galleries and museums As a direct result of being part of the Sony World Photography Awards, my work was acquired by several private and public collections.
Getting publishedBritish photographer Amanda Harman has worked on a range of commissions, residencies and projects for a variety of public and commercial clients. Her work has been exhibited widely and is held in museum collections, she is also a Senior Lecturer in Photography at the University of the West of England. Harman won the Professional Competition's Still Life category in 2014, and her series A Fluid Landscape was shortlisted in the Professional Landscape category in 2018. She recently received a book publishing deal for the series with Another Place details here). Harman states Taking part in the Sony World Photography Awards has led to great things for me. I feel that being shortlisted for the 2018 awards - and receiving a book deal - for a series that I took with the Sony camera that I won at the 2014 awards has nicely completed a circle. The awards have undoubtedly helped me in my career, and I am excited for the next steps.
Gallery representation 2018's Photographer of the Year, established British artist Alys Tomlinson studied photography at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and combines her editorial, design and advertising photography with personal projects. Tomlinson says that winning the Award has directly led to multiple new opportunities for her work, including being represented by a prestigious fine art photography gallery. She comments: Winning Photographer of the Year has lead to great things for me, including being represented by HackelBury Fine Art. It has been fantastic to gain representation by a prestigious contemporary photography gallery and to see my work exhibited with them at fairs across the world. Adding to this, since winning the award Ive also found a publisher for the series, and my book is due to be published by GOST Books in spring 2019.
