The Student competition rewards and showcases the work of the world’s most talented photography students.
Open to academic institutions worldwide, students are challenged to submit a series of three to five images responding to a particular brief. Ten shortlisted students are then chosen (one from each continent and four judges’ picks) and are flown to London to take part in exciting portfolios and photography masterclasses.
The ten shortlisted students are each given a Sony camera to shoot a new series of images to answer a second brief. From this work, one overall Student Photographer of the Year is chosen and receives €30,000 worth of Sony digital imaging equipment for his or her institution.

2023 Brief: Home
For this year’s student competition, we’re asking entrants to centre their projects around Home.
A universal theme that can be interpreted in myriad ways, show us through five to 10 images a story where the theme ‘Home’ is the focal point. From capturing a place that you (or a subject) hold close, to documenting quotidian life, to what home symbolises to a group or community, show us in your own visual signature what home can signify. You might want to think about the theme beyond the physical sense: home can for many unlock memories and trigger events from the past.
Your images can be taken on any device, shot in any style – be black & white or colour – and approached from whichever angle you feel is best. While creative responses are encouraged, it’s key to stick to the brief. If your institution is not registered yet, you can register here. For information relating to this year’s brief or any other questions please email Panos Pomonis at panagiotis@worldphoto.org
*A programme refers to a formalised photography course/credit/module/foundation which is taught at higher education level, within a diploma / Bachelor of Arts / Master of Arts curriculum.

Student Photographer of the Year receives €30,000 worth of Sony digital imaging equipment and other services
