Power is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that has served as a source of pride and prestige throughout history. As a fundamental human aspiration, it is challenging to define comprehensively due to its vast scope and varied interpretations. Power fuels progress, driving transformation and innovation. It can inspire greatness or evoke fear, making it one of the most compelling forces in human existence.

We invite photographers worldwide to interpret and visually express the essence of power from artistic, technical, and human perspectives. This category embraces all styles of photography—including aerial, photojournalistic, and abstract—to explore power’s philosophical and aesthetic dimensions.

This season, we proudly introduce the ‘Drone (Video)’ category, acknowledging the impact of drone technology on creative expression. These specialized tools have expanded artistic possibilities, shaping the photography industry and influencing numerous disciplines.

Due to overwhelming enthusiasm, the ‘Sports Photography’ category is now a permanent fixture. This category celebrates photographers who skillfully capture the intensity, emotion, and movement that make sports both exhilarating to witness and photograph.

For the ninth consecutive season, the ‘Portfolio’ category continues to highlight outstanding work, offering photographers an opportunity to present a cohesive series of images that engage audiences on a deeper, more immersive level than a single frame ever could.

Finally, the ‘General’ category (Colour and Black & White) remains a boundless space for artistic exploration, providing photographers with the freedom to push creative limits and redefine visual storytelling without constraints.
