About the Competition
The PhotOlympic remote competition takes place at the same time as the live final. Participants receive the same themes and have the same 24 hours to take photographs in their own city and submit them online. Participation is open to everyone, regardless of qualification status. Entries are judged separately from the live final, with separate rankings and awards.

Four steps from registration to submission: register, receive the themes, photograph in your city, and upload online.
02 — Eligibility
Who Can Enter
Qualified photographers who cannot travel, those who took part but did not qualify, and those who never entered the rounds.
03 — Recognition
Rankings & Awards
A dedicated judging process with its own rankings and awards. Completely separate from the live final.
How It Works
A clear four-step path from registration to submission, designed so that photographers in any city can take part without traveling.
