139,554 photos from 166 countries were submitted to the seventh annual Sony World Photography Awards, and now the organizing committee has revealed its shortlist of the very best. The entire shortlist will be exhibited in Londons Somerset House for 18 days in May, though the winners will be announced earlier, with the Open and Youth category victors announced on March 18th and the Professional section getting its own gala event announcement on April 30th. Sonys contribution to the cause will be to award digital imaging equipment to the photographers whose images are chosen as the best.
