Awards

This is a competition for photographs taken for and used by British media.

Stansall said of his portfolio of photographs that "each event presented a different style of image, giving the set variety from mixed aspects of sporting disciplines". "The first image was taken at my local cyclocross race. Cycling is a passion of mine, so to be given time to spend a day shooting grassroots of the sport was equally rewarding."

More than 2,000 photographs taken throughout the year were entered into the 10 categories by photographers working in the UK and abroad. 

Members of the association were then invited to vote for their favourite entries in each category with members of the board then choosing the overall winning portfolio from the category winners.
