The world’s biggest photography competition, the Sony World Photography Awards, just announced the thirteen winners of their Open and Youth categories. In total, the 2016 awards received a record-breaking 230,103 submissions. The ten Open and three Youth winners were selected from a total of 103,005 entries. The overall Open and Youth Photographer of the Year will be announced on April 21. These winning images will be exhibited at London’s Somerset House from April 22 to May 8.
Looking at the winning images of photo competitions like this inspire me to keep pursuing photography. The Open competition is meant for photography enthusiasts, not professionals in the industry. The youngest winner in the whole competition is in Youth. Under the Environment category, Anais Stupka from Italy is just 12-years-old!
I’ll never tire of looking at photos. I feel blessed that I get to explore such a powerful and artistic medium.
