The World Sports Photography Awards celebrate the best in professional sports photography worldwide. This year’s 24 winners showcase the incredible athleticism and impactful stories that endear so many people to the world of sports.
This year, more than 700 professional photographers from over 70 countries submitted their images for consideration. The World Sports Photography Awards is the only global photo competition exclusively for sports photography.
“Designed to recognize and celebrate incredible sports images and the photographers who take them, the World Sports Photography Awards tell compelling stories of the emotion, passion, athleticism, and focus that are at the heart of sport,” explains the World Sports Photography Awards.
“As a judge and as a sponsor of the 2023 ‘World Sports Photography Awards’ I was incredibly impressed by the quality of this year’s entries. The art of photography is about encapsulating emotions and feelings in an instant, and being able to tell a compelling story which aims to inspire the spectator long after they’ve experienced it. It’s been exciting to see the new entries in the ‘Pro’ space being shortlisted for the awards too as they have elevated the expectations for next year’s participants!” says Sophie Collins, Chief Marketing Officer at MPB. A popular online marketplace for photographers to buy, sell, and trade used photo and video gear, MPB is the sponsor of this year’s World Sports Photography Awards.
