Nothing Captures the Emotion of Sports like Photography

Entries for the 2025 WSPA awards are now open, go and submit your photos!

Sport is about action, movement and energy, so why is photography such a compelling medium for sporting narrative?

Because in the moment the full story of the journey to that moment is encapsulated and the full potential of what happens next is contained. Athletes, spectators and photographer were all drawn to this one moment.

World Sports Photography Awards celebrates the finest of those moments, the moments where talent and art combine to reveal profound things about what sport really means.
