The Sustainability Prize, launched by Creo and Sony, invites photographers passionate about communicating key themes linked to the Sustainable Development Goals, including environment, accessibility, diversity, equity and inclusion, to enter a series into any category of the Professional competition.
Set up to amplify the smaller stories exploring these social and environmental issues, the initiative spotlights one series from the Sony World Photography Awards Professional competition and one short film from the Sony Future Filmmaker Awards.
The Sustainability Prize is part of Creators for the Planet, a global year-round engagement programme set up by Sony Pictures and the United Nations Foundation, developed in collaboration with Creo. Creators for the Planet aims to mobilise and inspire people to act now through photography and film.
Each winner will receive $5,000, Sony digital imaging equipment and promotion on both the World Photography Organisation and the Sony Future Filmmaker Awards channels and websites through a news post, interview, newsletter and social media posts. The work of the winners will get the chance to be honored at a showcase hosted by the United Nations Foundation and Sony Pictures.
