The Sony World Photography Awards 2010 will take place in April of next year, in Cannes, France. These awards are free to enter and open to anyone - particularly amateurs trying to gain exposure for their work. I decided to have a look at some of the entries on the official website, and I thought it was very interesting to be able to see photographs from all categories, entered by different people from around the globe. There is such a wide range of styles and techniques that have been used that I felt very inspired after looking at some of the images on the site! I think it's a great way to unite the photography community and let everyone share their work - although there are also lots of photograph-sharing websites out there (flickr, photobucket, etc.), this allows for a more 'professional-take' on the entrants' work, and will often allow them to gain more exposure. I really recommend taking a look at some of the entries on the website if you have a few minutes to spare - it'll really get you wanting to get your own camera out!

the sunset background with the silhouette in the foreground of the first image creates such a stunning vision. Thanks for the site, i'll definitely be visiting it.
