This year the photo contest has two categories: Reportage and documentary and Wildlife and nature. For both categories participants have to submit a serie (or more) composed from 6 to 12 photos.
The total value of the prizes is more than 10,000 CHF, of which 3,000 CHF are reserved for “Premio Città di Lugano” – a prize offered by the City of Lugano.
The contest is open for all professional and non-professional photographers, who have reached the age of 18 on the closing date of the contest.
