All entries must have between six and 30 photographs related to a specific theme. The submission may also have a multimedia component to supplement the still images.

The entry fee is US$25 until Dec. 31. From Jan. 1, 2024 until the deadline, the entry fee is US$30. Scholarships are available for photographers from countries without access to credit cards or where there the entry fee would be prohibitive.

First-place winners will be featured in ZEKE magazine and in a traveling exhibition.

The deadline is Jan. 15, 2024.
