This year’s national and regional winners of the Sony World Photography Awards have been revealed. The victors were selected from a massive pool of applicants in the Open Competition, which aims to discover standout imagery captured in the past year. Photographers from 56 countries took part in this year’s competition with over 400,000 images submitted to the contest.

One of the highlights includes National Awards winner Rahsan Firtina from Turkey who captured a seemingly candid portrait of a man resting at a table with a soft, contemplative demeanor while two locals behind him play a game of ping pong. Another image, taken by Mohammed Muhtasib from Saudi Arabia, features an incredibly, crowded public space with hundreds of individuals rubbing shoulders on the street level while others are climbing on top of static trains. A mix of captivating portraits, macro shots of wildlife and landscape photography are included in the winning batch.

All National and Regional Award winners will receive Sony digital imaging equipment and will be spotlighted in the Sony World Photography Awards exhibition set to take place at Somerset House in London from April 17 through May 5. An accompanying book containing the winning images will also launch at the event.
