A photo marathon is always about creating a photo series on given topics within a certain time. The resulting photo series are then reviewed by an independent jury and awarded attractive prizes.
This idea of a photo competition has already been implemented in many German cities such as Berlin, Hamburg or Münster.

Everyone can participate.
If you have a digital camera with storage media and feel like taking on the challenge, then you are cordially invited to join the Münster Fotomarathon. It doesn’t matter if you are a layman or a professional, if you want to come alone or as a group, if you are from Münster or not – the main thing is that you are creative and like to take pictures.
This year the number of participants is limited to 100. If more participants register than there are starting places available, the order of registration will decide: The one who has registered first is in!
