Wexphoto+Sony Human Impact Awards
You are welcome to join the Human Impact Awards organized by Wexphoto and Sony (Click here to partecipate).
The competition:
At Wex, we believe in the power of photography to document human impact. A camera doesn’t just capture moments; it gives voice to experiences, amplifies unheard stories and reveals the many ways we inhabit, change and respond to the world around us.
This year’s Human Impact Awards and Student Awards, in collaboration with Sony, invite submissions that explore what human impact means today. The brief is intentionally open to interpretation. Whether you choose to highlight environmental damage or social inequality, community resilience or urban decay, local activism or everyday humanity, we want to see your perspective.
- The competition is free to enter
- Enter a photo series of 5–10 images accompanied by a description of the series
- Submissions are judged on the body of work
- The images can be taken on any device, camera brand or type
- See terms and conditions for full entry eligibility
The winners will be invited to an awards ceremony attended by our judges, industry professionals and Sony officials.
Professional Category:
The Professional category is open to all photographers aged 18 and over, working at any level of experience. Whether you’re full-time, freelance, or simply pursuing personal projects, we want to see photo series that reflect your perspective on human impact in today’s world.
