More than 1400 professional sports photographers from over 80 countries around the world submitted more than 9000 images to this year’s competition.
The World Sports Photography Awards are the only global awards for sports photography.
The world’s best sports photographers enter them every year - and they’re judged by leading figures from sport, media, photography, brand and creative.
Now in its fifth edition, the awards are designed to recognise and celebrate incredible sports images and the photographers who take them.
The photos tell compelling stories of the emotion, passion, athleticism and focus that are at the heart of sports.
Sophie Collins, Chief Marketing Officer at MPB said:
“As a judge and sponsor of the 2024 ‘World Sports Photography Awards,’ I am once again astounded by the exceptional talent showcased in this year’s entries.
Photography has the unique ability to capture the raw emotions and intense moments of sports, telling stories that resonate deeply with viewers long after the moment has passed."
