Sony World Photography Award invites photography students from all around the world to participate in the 2019 students photography competition. Open to academic institutions worldwide, students are challenged to submit a series of three to five images responding to a particular brief. Ten shortlisted students are then chosen (one from each continent and four judges’ picks) and are flown to London to take part in exciting portfolios and photography masterclasses.
2019 Brief: Invisible lines
The world we live in is structured around a variety of invisible lines. This could be in a natural environment (ie oceans, mountains, forests), in our society (ie gender, wealth, race), or intellectually. Photographers should show the judges the stories of people fighting against that and trying to break the invisible lines that most intrigues them in a positive way.
