Calling all budding sport photographers…
Have you got what it takes to be the next Heinz Kluetmeier? The Sony World Photography Awards - the global competition which honours both professional and amateur photographers - is inviting all budding sport photographers to submit their work for the 2009 SWPA Sport amateur category. Sport has long provided us with some of the most arresting photographic opportunities, and this is your chance to get your work seen by some of the world’s leading photographers.
In addition to the SWPA Sport Amateur Category, Sony is proud to introduce a brand new category this year with the 2009 Campaign Award, joining together a global obsession for football with an enthusiasm and passion for photography. The award seeks to uncover and celebrate the beauty of football that many people might miss or overlook: extraordinary football moments where you would least expect to find them. The winner of this award will receive tickets to Cannes, and also to the World Cup in 2010.
The Sony World Photography Awards are entirely international, welcoming people from across the globe to submit their photographs into an exciting amateur competition, which is run alongside the Professional Awards. They are judged by some of the most renowned names in the industry including Tom Stoddart and Elliott Erwitt.
· The competition is free to enter and the submission deadline is 31 December 2008. The winner will be announced on 17 March 2009. There are eight amateur categories in total
· The SWPA Amateur Sport Photographer of the Year will be showcased as part of the official 2009 Finalists exhibition in Cannes and be part of the annual SWPA Global Tour

The overall winner and a guest will be flown to Cannes, receive two nights’ accommodation in a luxury hotel on the famous Croisette, receive VIP tickets to attend the evening gala awards ceremony on 16 April 2009, and will receive $5000 and a Sony prize 16th
