Best sports photography

This award recognises published images that capture the passion, drama and colour of sport. Photographers must submit a single image per entry but can submit up to three separate entries.

All pictures must have been first published during the qualification period in a printed publication or third-party’s website/social media account.

Entries should include:

• a completed entry form
• one copy of the nominated item/s (please refer to ‘How to enter’)
• a 200-word statement to support the entry, outlining its relevance to the category, impact and any background context.

A maximum of three entries per person applies to this category. This category does not include books.

The image must not be digitally altered other than simple retouching that conforms to currently accepted industry standards. Cloning, montaging or digital special effects are not permitted.
