Sony World Photography Awards 2023

Now in its 16th year, the Sony World Photography Awards are sponsored by the World Photography Organization and Sony and include the “Professional,” “Open Youth” and “Student” awards.
“Current events, the environment, geopolitics, migration, the world of work, digital innovation, and the dreams and aspirations of the younger generations: these are the major themes featured in the world’s largest photographic collection, which again this year gave birth to the Sony World Photography Awards. A competition that identifies, enhances and rewards talent in every category of photography, from the professional to the student, making this art form inclusive and bringing it close to ever wider segments of the public,” said Angelo D’Orta, Sony’s Marketing Director in Italy.
The Italian exhibition, produced in collaboration with the Museo Diocesano “Carlo Maria Martini” in Milan, comes to Italy two months after the international ceremony of the prestigious Sony World Photography Awards. Prior to Milan, the competition’s winning works in April 2023 were exhibited at Somerset House in London.
Among the 160 works on display in Milan is “Our War” by Portuguese Edgar Martins, overall winner of the “Photographer of the Year” title with his highly personal tribute to his friend and photojournalist Anton Hammerl, who was killed during the 2011 Libyan civil war.
