CREDITS
PHOTO IS.RAEL invites photographers, designers, artists and creators from all fields which use the language of photography to engage in a creative and inspiring 24-hour exploration of various aspects of the “Chaos” theme. “Chaos” represents opportunity, a way of contending with the uncertainty and ambiguity of a time and a world that is constantly changing.
A panel of experts in the field of photography and innovation will review the submissions and select 20 winners whose work will be featured in a traveling exhibition. The exhibition will launch at the London Street Photography Festival, followed by Barcu Photography Festival in Bogotá, Colombia with a final stop at the 9th International Photography Festival in Tel-Aviv.
The marathon will launch online on February 16, at 5:00 PM (GMT+2). Over the course of 24 hours, participants will receive 6 secret photography challenges which may be completed at each participant’s own pace. Participants will be able to sign in and view the first challenge as soon as the marathon begins. Once the submission for one challenge has been uploaded, the next one will appear.
Participants will decide how much time they’d like to allocate to each challenge; however, all six challenges must be completed within 24 hours. Submissions will not be accepted after the conclusion of the marathon.
Each participant will be charged a $15 fee to cover the costs of operating the marathon.
