Sony World Photography Awards at Cannes 2008
The Sony World Photography Awards being held in Cannes, France, have ended and the Winners are announced.
This photo competition is the most prestigious and perhaps the most well known in the world. As we know, this year Sony surprised the entire photo community and took over sponsoring the event from Nikon for 2008. To sponsor this event is well respected within the entire photo community and bodes well for Sony's stated long term commitment in the DSLR industry.
Take a peek at the results, there is some excellent photography to be seen.

It will be interesting to see if Sony continues to sponsor this event annually.
Nikon mainstreamers and Canon too seem
somewhat self blind to the competition by sony at this point. I'd say if there be bidding involved to get this event, sony can win that war too.
