A photo marathon is a photography competition with a twist. Participants meet at a set time at a set location. When the competition starts, 6 themes will be announced, and competitors will then have the next 6 hours to best interpret those themes with their digital cameras. The interpretation of the themes is left to each participant. The idea is to be creative, spontaneous, and have fun.

Photo marathons have been popular around the world for many years. Anyone may participate. All you need is a digital camera and some creative thinking.

The Rotary Club of Edmonds is hosting this unique competition for all area photographers. All photos are to be taken in Edmonds during the competition. No prior photos accepted.

This is a contest of expression and capturing images that best express a theme in the time allotted. All submissions will be posted on this web site, and special recognition and prizes will be given to the top photographers for each theme.

Registration fee is $30 per entry.

• Registration begins at 9:00 am.
• The photo marathon starts at 10:00 am.
• All photos must be submitted no later than 4:00 pm.

This is a digital only event! Photographers can shoot as many images as they want. All photographers must submit their 6 photos on a jump drive (thumbdrive), a CD, a digital memory card, or by email.

Photos must be turned in with your 6 final entries in the order they appear on the theme sheet, or clearly labeled. Information will be provided at registration about where and when memory cards may be picked up at a later date.

Prizes will be given to the winners in each category, and one grand prize overall.
