World Photography Organisation has announced ten category winners and shortlists for each of those categories for the Sony World Photography Awards 2024.

These were deemed to be the best single images from across the world in 2023, selected from more than 395,000 images submitted in this year’s competition. Entries came from more than 220 countries and territories.

Unfortunately there were no Irish winners in these 10 categories. Each category winner receives digital imaging equipment from Sony and will go on to compete for the prestigious Open Photographer of the Year title and a $5,000 (USD) prize.
