Sport

Images of sports are probably the most ‘read’ in every newspaper. But this category invites much more than just front-page action shots; it is looking for photographs capturing the drama and tension, character studies (of performers and players, onlookers and audiences), the skills and physical transformations associated with every sport, the practicing, learning, preparing, dressing. There is also great potential for theatricality, and an opportunity to illustrate the inventive improvisations conjured by impoverished players everywhere in the world.
