AND MANY MORE… We are really looking forward to receiving submissions from all these top events. But it’s worth to underline the open and democratic style of the Awards. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been covering one of the mainstream events or just a small, regional tournament. What matters is the quality, the angles and the contents of the stories.
In our first edition, we had winners from the FINA World Swimming Championships, but also awarded pictures coming from Germany’s Third Division rugby league or the youth training of gymnasts in China.
