Freundeskreis Willy-Brandt-Haus presents for the seventh time the Sony World Photography Awards. For this year’s competition a total of 330,000 photos were submitted by photographers from over 220 countries – 120 best-placed and award-winning works can be seen at Willy-Brandt-Haus from October 2021.

In its 14th year, the international, renowned competition showcases the best that contemporary photography has to offer, from students to amateurs to professional photographers. Hardly any other photo competition offers such different photography genres: With nature shots, expressive portraits, abstract photos and much more, the Sony World Photography Awards show a cross-section of the world of photography.

This year’s pictures form a unique collection and are dedicated to topics such as a plague of locusts in East Africa, a centuries-old photographic technique or moving testimonies of human adaptability in Syria.

Sony World Photography Awards

The Sony World Photography Awards were launched in 2007 by the World Photography Organisation (WPO) with the support of Sony. WPO promotes professional, amateur and student photography and provides the photography industry with a global platform to communicate, collaborate and present current trends in photojournalism, fine art and commercial photography.
