The Sony World Photography Awards is one of the world's biggest and most important photography contests. Produced by the World Photography Organization and now in their 12th year of partnership with Sony, the awards consist of four competitions in total: Professional (for a body of work), Open (for a single image), Student (for academic institutions) and Youth (for 12-19 year olds). The winners will be announced at a ceremony in London on April 17.
The 12th edition saw a record-breaking 326,997 submissions by photographers from 195 countries and territories, presenting some of the world's finest contemporary photography captured over the past year. The judges have sorted through these and have highlighted the work of photographers from 62 countries, promoting them on a global scale. With winners from Myanmar to Peru, Mexico to Vietnam, the National Awards offer a unique opportunity for photographers of all abilities to showcase their work globally.
Newsweek presents the 62 images chosen to represent their countries (we have listed the countries in reverse alphabetical order).

United Kingdom: Underwater Gannets by Tracey Lund. "Whilst on a trip to Shetland, the biggest thing I wanted to do was photograph the gannets as they feed underwater. The photography takes place at sea around some of Shetland’s remotest headlands. Dead bait is used, using fish the Gannets would normally eat, locally sourced around Shetland. To be able to capture what goes on under the water was an unbelievable experience and one I will never forget."

Slovenia: Agata K by Klemen Razinger. "This portrait is a part of series for a hairdresser team from Slovenia. Every year we create a body of work for their campaign where they illustrate the amazing colors and shapes they have designed. This year we decided to bring back the Renaissance period. When I studied that period for the shoot I was amazed by the strong expressions and emotions shown on their faces. My hometown is strongly connected with that period so it was great to work on a project like this."

Romania: Vasile by Alex Robciuc. "His whole life lived here, in a traditional wooden house in the picturesque village of Breb, Maramures county, Romania. But he chose a different life than the other people from his community. He is strongly rooted in the ancestral Maramures lifestyle, but he has not given up on the benefits that the 21st century technology has to offer. Beside being a hardworking farmer, he is also a poet, writer and sometimes a journalist and for that he is surrounded by a laptop, a printer, camcorders and digital cameras."

France: Untitled by Greg Lecoeur. "For many years gray seals have been hunted by humans for their fur and fat, particularly in the 19th century, and they have disappeared from many areas of their normal range. They are currently protected by national and international regulations, but continue to suffer from unintentional catches, poaching and pollution. In the Farne Island archipelago, they are now protected and cohabit with humans, becoming one of the main tourist interests of this region."
