On The Table Read, “the best arts magazine in the UK“, World Sports Photography Awards is excited to announce the Amateur chapter of the 2022 awards, sponsored by MPB.
Having recently announced the winners for the third World Sports Photography Awards, an exciting new competition has now opened up for amateur photographers. This is a fantastic opportunity for photographers passionate about capturing moments in sport to showcase their best shots.
Photographers can enter up to three images across all sporting categories that have been taken within the last 12 months.
Anyone who does not currently earn a regular income from sports photography is eligible to enter the amateur awards.
Speaking about the Amateur chapter, World Sports Photography Awards co-founder Simon Burton said: “Sports photography is about emotion, and the story behind the image. That’s true whether it’s a world-famous athlete in a stadium or kids at a school sports day. We look forward to seeing the entries in this category which tell inspiring stories of endeavour, determination, disappointment, and celebration.”
Sophie Collins, chief marketing officer, MPB said; “We’ve seen some truly astonishing imagery win the World Sports Photography Awards this year and we are very excited to open up this new stage of the competition to shine a spotlight on talented amateur sports photographers. Photography holds the power to evoke emotions, with sports photography captivating audiences and keeping these celebrated moments frozen in time. At MPB we believe in making photography more inclusive and accessible and are delighted to be able to give three amateur winners a fantastic experience they’ll never forget and have their imagery seen by people around the world.”
Winners of the Amateur World Sports Photography Awards will receive a unique behind-the-scenes sporting event experience*, where they will spend the day with a Pro Sports Photographer shooting the event and learning more about what it takes to be a pro in the world of sports photography, whilst have the opportunity to try out their dream kit to shoot the event, provided by sponsor MPB. Winners will also receive credit to spend at MPB to enhance their creative potential.
*Experience does not include travel and accommodation, although every endeavour will be taken to make this experience as geographically close to the winners as possible.
