Seven of the shortlisted UK photographers entered the Open category, which is open to non-professionals. They are today named as: Alex Ingle, Lewis Outing, Philip Joyce, Grant Ritchie, Lesley Hall, Jack Lawson and Tino Solomon.<\/p>\n

\u2018There is a huge range of techniques and styles from the British photographers on the shortlist, but all are characterised by their originality and fresh approach to their chosen category,\u2019 organisers said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The competition has attracted more than one million submissions since its launch in 2007 and this year saw a 135% increase in UK entries over 2015.<\/p>\n

World Photography Organisation CEO Scott Gray said: \u2018Despite the increase in the number of photographers, and the amount of imagery that required judging, this year above all others we have witnessed a wealth of powerful imagery in the traditionally strong social documentary categories as well as the art and conceptual work.’<\/p>\n

Gray added: \u2018It is wonderful for the medium that it can offer such rich diversity.\u2019<\/p>\n

The shortlisted photographers will go forward to compete for a share of the $30,000 grand prize at the 2016 Sony World Photography Awards ceremony, to be held in London on 21 April.<\/p>\n\n\"Belhaven\n
