25,000 第六届哈姆丹国际摄影大赛征稿启事

方舟

INTRODUCTION
Building on a five-year tradition of inspiring artistic and intellectual talents to propagate the true spirit of photography and highlight its crucial role in the creation of a culture, as well as giving recognition to innovators worldwide, HIPA resumes its journey with you today to declare “Challenge” as the main theme category for the Sixth Edition of the Awards. This choice of category is meant to provoke photographers’ inner thoughts and life impressions in search for the visuals that give expression to the meaning of challenge as they understand it from their own experience, and the individuality through which they treat it through the lens of a camera.

You may have noticed that HIPA this year is adding a new tone to its outlook, which is ushering in a new stage in its journey towards photographic endeavour, in pursuit of added knowledge and skills for further advancement of its global audience in 193 countries.

Following the easy flowing, heart warming theme of Happiness, we now hear a strong call in the “challenge” theme, which seeks to mobilise our mental skills, visual memory and creative power to produce powerful and effective visual expressions that go beyond the single photo format, into a sequence of photos that is completely different in nature and requirements from the single photo, and that make the photographer truly a story teller. This is the Photo Feature category.

Furthermore, in recognition of the great technological leap that has allowed photographers to develop new skillsets in the editing and manipulation of photographs, HIPA has opened the door wide open for photographers’ imagination through the launch of the Digital Manipulation category. Finally, the General Category will continue to be a space for pure creative photography that breaks all formats and norms, offering photographers the opportunity to freely sail on their own journey of discovery where no one else has been – whether in black and white or coloured photography.

Thus, creativity and innovation are open to you on different platforms, and wherever your talent lies you have the opportunity to create a work of art you can truly be proud of.

THE CHALLENGE

PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE CHALLENGES FACED IN THEIR LINE OF WORK. THEY OFTEN HAVE TO DEAL WITH CHALLENGES IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE THE RIGHT IMAGE AT THE RIGHT MOMENT AND DELIVER THE INTENDED MESSAGE OR PROVOKE THE RIGHT FEELINGS. HOWEVER, THIS CATEGORY IS ABOUT CONVEYING THE THEME OF CHALLENGE IN A CLEAR MANNER EITHER IN THE WAY THE PHOTOGRAPH WAS SHOT OR IN ITS CONTENT AND SUBJECT MATTER. THE SCOPE IS QUITE WIDE; THE CHALLENGE COULD BE SHOWN IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE PICTURE, THE ARRANGEMENT OF ITS ELEMENTS, SEQUENCE, THE LIGHTING, OR IN EXPRESSING THE ODD AND UNUSUAL (WITHOUT DIGITAL MANIPULATION). IT CAN BE IN CAPTURING A FLEETING MOMENT THAT MAY NEVER PASS AGAIN, OR IN DELIVERING A PIECE OF INFORMATION OR SITUATION THAT IS QUITE HARD FOR MOST PEOPLE TO DO. DON’T LIMIT YOUR MIND TO WHAT THE CHALLENGE MAY BE; SEEK IT AND CAPTURE IT.
摄影师对摄影中的“挑战”并不陌生，要在合适的时机拍到理想的图像，要能够传递想要表达的信息或者引起读者的感情共鸣，这些都是挑战。参加该组别比赛的照片，需要从拍摄方法、拍摄内容或者拍摄主体方面体现“挑战”这一主题。范围非常广泛，可以从构图、图像元素的安排、顺序、光线或奇特性等方面来阐释。可以表现一个不会再现的瞬间，或展现某个大部分人都不可能表达出来的信息或场景。不要受“挑战”束缚，探寻你的“挑战”。

DIGITAL MANIPULATION

DIGITAL MANIPULATION OF PHOTOGRAPHY HAS REACHED UNPRECEDENTED HIGHS THAT COULD NEVER HAVE BEEN DREAMT OF BEFORE. IN FACT, IT HAS ARGUABLY BECOME AN ART FORM OF ITS OWN.
THEREFORE IN RECOGNITION OF THIS ART, HIPA IS GIVING CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHERS WITH DIGITAL SKILLS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DELIVER AN OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD IMAGE THAT IS BOTH CONVINCING AND REALISTIC; A MIND-BLOWING IMAGE FROM THE REALMS OF FANTASY THAT CHALLENGES HUMAN PERCEPTION WITH ITS APPARENT REALITY.
WE INVITE ALL CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHERS TO LET THEIR IMAGINATIONS LOOSE BY TAKING REAL PHOTOS AND DIGITALLY MANIPULATING THEM TO UNREAL LEVELS OF ART, BEAUTY AND THOUGHT PROVOCATION.
THIS CATEGORY WILL NO DOUBT USHER IN A HIGH LEVEL OF COMPETITIVENESS IN CREATIVITY AND DIGITAL SKILLS... THE SKY IS THE LIMIT.
后期制作所达到的高度是以往所不敢想象的。虽然存在争议，但后期制作本身已经被看作一种艺术。为了向这类艺术致敬，赛事举办方特设立“数码后期组”，让摄影师有机会展示真实而有说服力的“另一个世界”，虚幻、令人惊奇，带有显而易见的“真实”特性，从而挑战人们的视角。

我们欢迎摄影师放飞自己的想象力，拍摄真实的世界，通过后期制作合成集美好与启发性于一体的超现实艺术图片。

PORTFOLIO

THIS CATEGORY INVITES PHOTOGRAPHERS TO CONVINCE THE JURY OF THEIR PHOTOGRAPHIC TALENTS AND SKILLS COMBINED WITH THEIR KNOWLEDGE IN A PARTICULAR TOPIC OR THEME OF THEIR CHOICE BY TELLING A STORY THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS. THE CHALLENGE HERE LIES IN IMAGINING THE DESIRED SETTING OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS BEFORE CAPTURING THEM IN SEPARATE FRAMES THAT WOULD TELL THE STORY ON THEIR BEHALF.
THE PORTFOLIO CATEGORY IS AN INNOVATIVE ADDITION TO HIPA WHICH NO DOUBT BREAKS THE BARRIER(S) OF THE SINGLE PHOTOGRAPH AND THE SINGLE MOMENT, AND ALLOWS FOR THE PLANNING AND EXECUTION OF A STORY FROM VARIOUS DIFFERENT ANGLES AND PERSPECTIVES WITH DIFFERING OR CONTRASTING MOMENTS. THIS IS A UNIQUE CORE CHALLENGE FOR HIPA IN ITS SIXTH EDITION. TAKE UP THE CHALLENGE!
应包含5-10幅主体相同的作品。通过图片讲述故事，展现摄影师的才能与技术，以及对某个主题、话题的只是。该组别的挑战在于拍摄之前想好图片的设置，用单帧的图片讲述完整的故事。
此次主题“挑战”，意在激发摄影师深思，回顾个人用图像作为表达手段的经历，对“挑战”作出理解，并通过相机镜头表达个性。

GENERAL

THIS CATEGORY REMAINS AS ATTRACTIVE AS EVER FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO HAVE AN OUTSTANDING EYE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY THAT DOESN’T NECESSARILY FALL INTO ANY OF THE OTHER CATEGORIES. YEAR AFTER YEAR, THIS CATEGORY HAS GAINED QUALITY AND DIVERSITY, WITH A CONSTANT SHARE OF ABOUT A THIRD OF ALL ENTRIES REGISTERED IN HIPA. ACCORDINGLY, HIPA HAS WIDENED THE SCOPE FOR THIS CATEGORY AND WILL OFFER PARTICIPANTS TWO OPPORTUNITIES INSTEAD OF ONE; THUS DIVIDING IT INTO TWO SUB-CATEGORIES: ONE FOR BLACK AND WHITE ENTRIES, TO GIVE DESERVED SUBSTANCE TO THIS CLASSIC ART FORM, AND THE OTHER IS FOR COLOURED ENTRIES, GIVING PARTICIPANTS THE OPTION TO DAZZLE THE JURY AND VIEWERS WITH THEIR COLOURS.
这一类仍然是有吸引力的，因为有一个杰出的摄影眼睛，不一定属于任何其他类别的摄影师。年复一年，这个范畴取得了高质量和多样性，具有恒定的条目注册HIPA三分之一份额。因此，HIPA已经扩大了范围，将提供这类参与者的机会；因此将其划分为两个亚类：一为黑白作品，给予这一经典的艺术形式相应的位置，而另一个是彩色作品，让参与者的颜色炫耀审核观众。
