“We are very excited to be working with theprintspace as the official print partner for the 2015 Sony World Photography Awards. Besides the peerless standard of their printing and framing services, the recent launch of their new online print fulfilment application, thehub, provided another strong incentive for us to work with theprintspace. For the first time, thehub will allow print sales to be integrated into the Sony World Photography awards, both online and at the Somerset House Exhibition. We know from past initiatives that having a platform to sell their work is something of great interest to many of our members. And there is huge public interest in the wonderful art that we exhibit every year from our winning entries. The Sony World Photography awards provides a powerful platform to promote that art to the public. thehub is the final piece in the puzzle, allowing us to integrate seamlessly and cost effectively with theprintspace's production and fulfilment infrastructure and add value for the artists and art lovers we support."

Stuart Waplington, Managing Director of theprintspace commented:

“We’re very excited to be partnering with the WPO in their eighth year. The Sony World Photography awards continues to grow in popularity, scale and ambition, providing a showcase for the best of contemporary photography on the planet, and acting as a great platform for discovery of new and emerging talent. The exhibition has firmly established itself as an unmissable event in the Photographic calendar. We are thrilled that our new service thehub will now give tens of thousands of visitors the opportunity to own fine art prints of the winning images exhibited this year at Somerset House.”
