The Sony World Photography Awards Youth competition encourages photographers aged 12 to 19 years old to enter their best images to monthly competitions. In December, we wanted to see the world through your camera lens. Images submitted to the last Youth competition for this year could be of any topic, style or subject matter.
Congratulations to the winner and the highlighted photographers of the December competition! Benjamin Joel's striking, creative portrait caught our eye. His image will be featured on the World Photography Organisation social media channels plus he'll be in the running for the Youth Photographer of the Year title, announced in Spring 2022.
Over 18 and have a photo project you're proud of? Enter the Professional competition! Closes soon
