The 37th edition of this competition will include three categories: Open (Free), Next Generation (New generation) and Short Film (Short film).

For each of them a theme is associated:

  • The theme chosen for the Open category is “Change”. In this era of significant changes (work, lifestyles, climate, etc.) Nikon calls on photographers who wish to share their vision of change.
  • The theme chosen for the Next Generation category, open to photographers aged 25 or less, is “Identity”. Nikon is appealing to young photographers who wish to share their interpretation of this notion at the crossroads of sociology, psychology, philosophy or even culture.
  • The theme of the Short Film category is “Hope”. Nikon expects contributions offering an optimistic view of the future.

The President of the Jury of the Nikon Photo Contest 2018-2019 will be, for the second consecutive edition, Neville Brody, a world-renowned graphic designer and artistic director, whose work is a source of inspiration for many artists and photographers.
