Do you love winter for city holiday lights or for the opportunity to ski or snowboard in mountains, for a soothing monochrome and a sense of peace? In a special selection by Sony World Photography you can find your frosty inspiration and immerse yourself in endless spaces of snow.

Sony World Photography is one of the most famous and versatile photography contests in the world. Young amateurs and famous professionals take part in it.
