Sony is honored to support and promote the skills and creativity of amateur and professional photographers worldwide."

"The Nature's Best exhibitions have been vital in encouraging greater appreciation for nature photography and the natural world on the part of millions of visitors to the National Museum of Natural History."
The Nature's Best Photography competition is named in memory of accomplished photographer and conservation advocate, Windland Smith Rice, for her past support of emerging photographers worldwide. In 2007, photographers from more than 25 countries submitted over 17,000 images.
