'Energy'
To represent energy in photographs, you can use techniques that create a sense of movement and dynamism, as well as emotional resonance. This can be achieved through various methods, such as motion blur, colour palettes and capturing candid moments that reveal a subject's internal state. The submissions were very diverse, including sports, dance, and storm photography, all of which showed lots of energy.

The winners with the most votes are: 
1st place : Peter Ebel
2nd place: Antonyus Bunjamin (Abe)
3rd place : DDiArte

Congratulations to the winners and honourable mentions.
Thanks to all the participants in the contest 'Energy' 

The currently running theme is 'Decay'
Decay may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about photography. It offers a unique and intriguing opportunity to explore the passage of time, transformation, and profound beauty in the most unlikely places. Abandoned buildings, rusted cars and so many more. Each offers its unique story and aesthetic.

This contest will end on Sunday the 11th of January 2026 at midnight.
The sooner you upload your submission the more chance you have to gather the most votes.
