The international contest is dedicated to photographers <strong>under 35<\/strong>, and promoted with the support of the Pietro Pittini Foundation and in collaboration with PAG &#8211; Youth Area Project, as part of the international festival Trieste Photo Days.<\/p>\n<p>After the success of the first two editions, dotART decided to make the young contest even bigger, integrating the <strong>Trieste Photo Young<\/strong> within the prestigious <strong>URBAN Photo Awards<\/strong> competition. <strong>URBAN Photo Arena<\/strong> will represent a huge opportunity in terms of visibility for young talents, who will be able to compete within the environment of an international contest that is appreciated worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The innovative and exciting formula of the contest will remain unchanged: <strong>URBAN Photo Arena<\/strong> will be divided into two parts, a first group stage and a second knockout stage (with sixteenth, eighth, quarter, semifinal and final rounds), along the lines of the World Cup. The progress of the contest will be available on URBAN&#8217;s website, where updated rankings will be posted as the jury votes. The contest will run online until the quarterfinals, while the semifinals and final will be held live during Trieste Photo Days, where the jurors in attendance will decide the winning photo.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5d87f;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#fff299;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-expand su-expand-collapsed su-expand-link-style-dotted\" data-height=\"0\"><div class=\"su-expand-content su-u-trim\" style=\"color:#333333;max-height:0px;overflow:hidden\">\n<p><strong>Guidelines for URBAN Photo Arena<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Contestants can submit one free theme single photo<\/li>\n<li>While uploading the photo, contestants will have to assign the photo to one of the four thematic areas , in order to classify their work more clearly.<\/li>\n<li>Contestants can compete in more than one thematic area and\/or category with the same photo (see Article 3 for submission fees).<\/li>\n<li>Both colour and black-and-white photos are allowed.<\/li>\n<li>Post-production and slight photo-editing are allowed.<\/li>\n<li>Heavy post-production and photo-editing are only allowed when explicitly specified.<\/li>\n<li>Photos with signatures, filigrees, frames or visible marks will not be accepted.<\/li>\n<li>Photos deemed offensive according to the sensibility and the unappealable decision of the jury will not be accepted.<\/li>\n<li>AI generated photos are not allowed<\/li>\n<li>The winner will be selected and awarded by the President of the jury.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Technical specifications<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jpg format (attention to file extension No to TIFF, RAW, etc.).<\/li>\n<li>RGB color method.<\/li>\n<li>Single photos: files must be less than 10 MB each.<\/li>\n<li>Projects: the files that make up the projects must be less than 10 MB each.<\/li>\n<li>Minimum size on the smaller side: 2000 px \/ maximum size on the longest side: 6000 px.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><div class=\"su-expand-link su-expand-link-more\" style=\"text-align:left\"><a href=\"javascript:;\" style=\"color:#333333;border-color:#333333\"><i class=\"sui sui-arrow-right\" style=\"\" aria-label=\"\"><\/i><span style=\"border-color:#333333\">Important!
