Themes

The competition is open to all and features three distinct themes:

» THEME #1 » STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

Daily life in the city seen through street photography: real, instant images that capture moments, people, faces, streets, buildings and other elements capable of telling stories woven into the urban fabric. The star of the show: the City.

» THEME #2 » GEOMETRICS

The urban environment seen through the lens, tracing lines, contours, outlines, sinuous or asymmetric forms, geometric arrangements. Capturing with the artistic eye of the photograph particular images from the cityscape which surrounds us.

» THEME #3 » URBAN FASHION

Fashion Photography in the urban fabric. Contrary to street photography, here there’s no need to capture the moment, since it can actually be “created”. The setting for the fashion shoot must be the City, either real or reproduced as a set. The photographer is free to place his/her subjects inside or outside, as long as the city context is ever present. Therefore only those photos taken in setting will be admitted (and not those taken against a neutral backdrop). There is complete freedom in the choosing of models, photo style, make up, hair styling and post production.

Each participant may submit up to 9 works (3 for each theme), none of which may have previously won an award in another competition (the penalty for using previously awarded photos is the exclusion of the entry in question from the competition). We accept photos in colour or in black and white; post production and software corrections are to be kept to a minimum. Photo compositions or pictures with visible signatures from the photographer will not be accepted. We do not accept images or works with offensive content; decisions regarding content will be made by the jury and are to be considered final
