The winners of the National Awards at the 2015 Sony World Photography Awards, the world’s biggest photography competition, are announced today. Working across 54 countries from Australia to Argentina, the National Award programme looks to uncover the honour the best single image taken by a photographer from a particular country. Judged by local experts from across the photography industry, the entries for the 54 National Awards were taken from images entered into any of the ten categories across the Open competition of the awards, which are open to photographers of all abilities and is judged on a single shot. British photographer Byron Dilkes is today named as the winner of the U.K. National Award. Dilkes’ winning image “Tantalizingly Tropical”, of a blacktip reef shark patrolling a coral reef, was chosen as the single best photograph taken by a British photographer entered into any of the ten Open categories and he has won a Sony RX100 III camera and his image will be shown as part of the 2015 Sony World Photography Awards exhibition at Somerset House, London from 24 April – 10 May. Dilkes says, "The image was particularly difficult to get, as it required the right combination of tide, good underwater visibility and calm surface conditions. At low tide I waded out with my underwater housing and perched on a large rock as I waited for the tide. On this particular day I perched on the rock for about four hours until the incoming tide threatened to sweep me off my feet.” Photographer Simon Morris came in second place and Antony Crossfield third.
