The Winners Of The 2014 Sony World Photography Awards Have Been Announced

ADVERTISEMENT

The 2014 Sony World Photography Awards have finally published the winners of their worldwide photo competition. This year, 139,554 images from 70,000 entries made it into the competition.

The competition is separated into four major sections – Professional, Open, Student, and Youth. Each category is filled with incredible submissions – from portrait photography to beautiful nature shots, and most of them are also split into sub-categories. The winner and shortlist galleries are definitely worth checking out because whatever sort of photography you’re interested in, you’ll probably find it there. And no matter what category or sub-category they’re in, you can be assured that they’re some of the best photos that people have come up with this year.

Several winners have been announced for the Open, Youth and National Award categories, and shortlists have been published for the Professional and Student categories. The final winners will be announced at the Sony World Photography Awards ceremony in London on April 30th. The best photographers will receive Sony a6000 cameras, and the category winners will receive tickets to fly to the award ceremony in London. The Open Photographer of the Year will also receive a $5,000 prize.

International photo competitions are always a great opportunity to see an eclectic selection of the world’s coolest photos. We have a few posts about other photo competitions that are also worth checking out, like the National Geographic Photo Contest if you are more into beautiful nature views, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest and the Red Bull Illume Photo Contest.

I loved the pictures except of the one of the horses fighting. A picture like that legitimizes violence against animals!
