Photographers have one month to enter their best work for the 2017 Sony World Photography Awards. The world’s largest photography competition, which saw 230,103 photo submissions last year, is accepting entries in the Open and Youth contests until January 5, 2017. (The Professional section of the competition is accepting work until January 10, 2017.)

An expert jury from the international photography community will be selecting the winners based on originality and artistic vision. And with 10 categories in both the Open and Professional contest, there is a place for every type of photographer. These newly released preview images from the Open competition show the wide range of talent we can expect from the tenth edition of the international contest. Photographers from different continents, with different styles, showcase their best work and remind us that photography is an art with no limits.

The winners will be announced in London on April 20, 2017, with all winning and shortlisted images on exhibit at Somerset House in London from April 21 through May 7, 2017.
