Power is a force both captivating and elusive—a timeless symbol of ambition, influence, and transformation. It fuels change, drives progress, and shapes the world in ways both inspiring and intimidating. Because of its vast meanings and interpretations, power remains one of the most intriguing subjects to explore through photography.

This year, we invite photographers from all corners of the globe to capture the essence of power from unique artistic, technical, or human perspectives. Whether through aerial views, compelling photojournalism, or abstract compositions, this category welcomes diverse styles that reflect power’s profound impact on society and individuals alike.

We’re also thrilled to introduce the new ‘Drone (Video)’ category, recognizing the revolutionary role of drones in enhancing artistic storytelling. These advanced tools have given creators unprecedented creative control, allowing them to push the boundaries of visual expression.

By popular demand, ‘Sports Photography’ is now a permanent category! Sports are filled with drama, energy, and passion, and we celebrate those photographers who skillfully capture these electrifying moments in ways that bring the action to life.

The ‘Portfolio’ category, now in its ninth season, continues to be a cornerstone of our competition. It offers photographers the opportunity to tell powerful, cohesive visual stories—creating emotional connections with audiences that a single image cannot achieve.

Lastly, our ‘General’ category (Colour and Black & White) remains a space of limitless possibility, where photographers can let their creativity soar and explore new artistic frontiers without restrictions.
