A fresh approach offers new angles. The up-and-coming category is for rising talents to compete on similar footing – submissions accepted only from photographers 25 years old or less. Show us your greatest capture!
Images that demonstrate the force that powers an action and show the energy, speed and strength required for an athlete to perform.
Images that reveal a unique angle, a visual idea, a different format, light and flash effects... something never seen before!
Images that visually capture the creativity of the lifestyle, music and culture that surrounds adventure and action sports, or represents what happens before, between, and after the action.
Images that illuminate your artistic skill, your personal best, your unique style - give us your best shot!
Images that showcase the landscapes, locations, platforms, and environments in which athletes play.
Photos presented in a slideshow from 30 seconds up to 3 minutes, giving you the opportunity to show us your story that simply can’t be told in a single image.
Shots that are straight out of the camera showcasing the real image. Composition, exposure, lighting done in front of the lens and in the scene, not behind a screen. That’s the RAW by Leica category –un-cropped, un-touched, no filter.
