Sony announces Winners of the 2024 Sony Alpha Awards
Sony has announced the winners of the ninth annual Sony Alpha Awards, recognising Australian and New Zealand photographers from amateur to professional and the stunning imagery they captured on Sony Alpha cameras and lenses. The Alpha Awards aspire to drive creativity, reward professionals and enthusiasts alike and showcase the greatest photography work.
In 2024 over 2,600 stunning images were submitted by professional and amateur photographers, for the chance to be recognised for their talents.
$54,000 worth of Sony camera gear has been awarded at the 2024 Alpha Awards – including $4,000 of Sony digital imaging gear per category with the Grand Prize Winner, Ben Sowry taking away $10,000 worth of Sony camera gear.
Jun Yoon, Head of Sony Digital Imaging ANZ commented, “Our community of Sony photographers across Australia and New Zealand continue to wow us with their creativity and skills as we celebrate the winners of our ninth annual Alpha Awards in 2024. It is always so enjoyable to recognise excellence in imagery through this competition, and this year has a special extra touch, as we award the winners inside the iconic White Bay Power Station in Sydney. We are lucky enough to be hosting a takeover of this incredibly unique location so that we can also celebrate our Sony filmmaking community (the following evening), as we announce the winners of our Catchlight Film Festival. To top it off, we will also have our inaugural open-to-the-public Tradeshow for our community to enjoy workshops and panel talks from over 30 creators, and get hands-on with products at live demonstrations and experiences”
