Every photo marathon has its own individual character. This is also reflected in the organization and the process. However, there are also similarities that are the same in every city.

  • the participants register in advance for the event
  • At the start, the participants receive the first part of the subjects to be photographed and are only given the next subjects at an intermediate station
  • in the target area, all images are read directly from the memory card
  • the submitted images are presented to a jury for evaluation and the best series are selected; Sometimes the organizers make a preselection (e.g. 33%) and only this is presented to the jury (e.g. Hamburg 2017)
  • Once the evaluation phase is over, the awards ceremony takes place and the winners are awarded certificates and prizes
