展覽

Professional competition獎勵和展出世界上最傑出的系列創作。

評審們正在尋找技術上精湛、令人興奮的系列創作，並為當代攝影作品提供新的視角。 他們希望發掘原本無法被看到的作品，並與全世界的觀眾分享。

對於新興攝影師而言，該獎項可以為出版交易、畫廊代表和全球展覽敞開大門。對於知名藝術家而言，該獎項提供了一個全球平台，可以分享個人專案並表彰您對媒體的熱情。

藝術家可以參加以下類別的多個系列作品競賽：建築、創意、探索、記錄片、環境、風景、自然世界和野生動物、肖像、靜物和體育。

本年度「職業」競賽的新特色是「作品集」類別。攝影師可以登記概括其攝影執業的過去一年拍攝之 5 至 10 張影像。影像不需要在敘述、主題或風格上相關聯。評審將在此注意整個影像組中顯見的品質和技術技巧。今年也擴展了「建築」類別，要求參賽者還提交與設計相關的最佳照片。

「索尼世界攝影大獎」去年啟動了支援全球攝影師的數項計劃。我們也樂見拉丁美洲職業獎回歸獲得 2021 「索尼世界攝影大獎」。請在此處閱讀有關該計畫的更多資訊。

「有此重要獎項，我看到了兩項勝利：第一，突顯仍在為自己和所有人未來而戰的人，這是講述亞馬遜傳統社群故事的機會。我們必須放眼樹木、氧氣和雨林「未被探索」物種之外。第二，年度攝影師獎已登入拉丁美洲──這是歷史上一向是透過外國人的眼睛講述的大陸。我希望來自我們地區的更多攝影師將繼續出聲來做出貢獻，從而鞏固拉丁美洲說故事者這個令人驚嘆的社群。」

Pablo Albarenga ( 烏拉圭 )，2020 年度攝影師

“自從我在2018年獲得年度最佳攝影師的頭銜以來，在我身上已經發生了三件大事。我最近發行了一本書（ 書名是Ex-Voto，由GOST出版 ），獲得了畫廊代表（ 由HackelBury Fine Art推舉 ），我也在The Rencontres d’Arles舉辦了一場展覽。Sony World Photography Awards確實幫助我改變了我的職業發展路線，現在我的職業發展較多是專注在美術攝影領域。 該獎項促進了這個過程，得以達到我希望的目標。”

來自英國的Alys Tomlinson
2018年的年度最佳攝影師

“獲得年度最佳攝影師的頭銜是讓我如此地開心，因為這意謂著我的故事可以傳達給很多人。 在宣佈之後我的手機便立即開始響，並且從那時起來電便沒有停止過！ 我收到了來自世界各地的訊息……人們想聽我想講的故事，我無法再要求更多了。”

來自義大利的Federico Borella
