The path to victory<\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/p>\n
In the first phase<\/strong>, photographers submit their best free-themed photo, each one eager to make their mark in the Arena. The submissions will close on June 16th<\/strong>, and the real game will begin.<\/p>\nEvery week, like in a sports match, the photos go head-to-head, and here’s the twist<\/strong>: the photographers themselves are the jury. They\u2019ll cast their votes<\/strong> to determine the winners of each round, mowing the most captivating images forward. As the competition progresses, only the best photos advance to the top of the bracket<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n The Arena tournament bracket<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/a>\n \n Winner of the 2023 Arena: Romain Miot (FR)<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/a>\n \n The winning photo \"Becoming an adult\"<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\nAn international stage<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\nFrom the Semifinals stage on, only our Top 3 URBAN Jurors<\/strong> will judge the matches.

The contest can be won in two ways: in addition to the traditional podium with the best photos voted by the global jury, perseverance in voting<\/strong> and photographic intuition<\/strong> in knowing how to choose the winning photo are also rewarded. The \u201cBest Voter\u201d Award<\/strong> is conquered by the participant with the most points accumulated within the Semifinals round.
