Check-in
Before the Stockholm Photo Marathon starts, you as a participant must check-in and pick up your number plate and other participant material that you need during the event.
Start
We open up for admission sometime before the start shot goes for the opportunity to ask your last questions, pick up your participant material and we provide the last info you need to complete this year’s edition of the Stockholm Photo Marathon.
When the marathon starts, you will receive your theme card, containing the first themes of the year.
On the theme card you will also find the code to unlock info to the next checkpoint. There you get the next theme card.
Time to photographing
Now it’s time to start photographing and capturing your best photos on this year’s themes. Keep in mind that the tasks must be photographed in the correct order, theme 1 before theme 2, etc.
Remember that you can only submit one image per theme when you reach the finish line.
Checkpoint
During the Stockholm Photomarathon, there is a checkpoint every four hours. Organizers are there to answer questions, and you also have the opportunity to rest for a while, sort through your photos, and meet other competitors.
You can find information about where and when the next checkpoint is open via the code on your theme card.
Final push
We are now entering the last hours of Photo Marathon and it’s time to finish photographing.
Remember that all competition photos must be taken within the specified time limit.
The finish
Time for the finish line. You are now welcome to upload your photos at the final station.
For uploading, you can choose the following:
- Upload your photos yourself using your phone/tablet/computer
- Get help with uploading at our computers. If you choose this option, you should only have 8/24 photos on your memory card when you join the queue.
There are people from the organizing team who will help with all of this.
Once you have uploaded your photos, you have officially finished.
Great work!
Now you get a diploma, maybe some fun from a sponsor and then it’s time to go home and rest.
After the finish line
Printing the pictures
When everyone has finished, we start immediately with the finishing work. All your photos go away and are printed on contact cards which the jury will then assess.
We ask you to keep your competition photos away from social media until the jury completed their work. If you want to share your photos, you can do it in the group for this year’s event here at stockholmfotomaraton.se.
The work of the jury
Middle of September
Our five jury members sit down and go through all the submitted photos. They do a solid job and when they are done, they have chosen the winners of this year’s Stockholm Photo Marathon.
You will now receive an email confirming that it is ok to share your competition photos as you wish.
Exhibition
We usually arrange a few exhibitions with the best pictures in different selected themes during the autumn.
Keep an eye out for our news via mail and social media!
Award ceremony
Finally, it’s time for the award ceremony. Here we also exhibit all photos competing in Stockholm Photo Marathon.
Info about when the award ceremony will take place will come soon.
