This year, a record breaking 230,103 images from all across the globe were submitted to the three categories of Professional, Youth and Open.

The competition remains one of the most influential and respected of its kind, and with over 1 million images received since the initial launch, it has grown to be the world’s largest photography competition.

This year over 270 photographers participated from nearly 60 countries, creating a diverse collection of international moments.

This year an honorary jury, made up of Dominque Green (Consultant, UK) and Sue Steward (Writer/ Curator, UK), have shortlisted some of the exceptional entries from both seasoned and emerging photographers.

Overall winners are set to be announced April 21st and will then be displayed at the Somerset House, London from April 22 through May 8th.
