The third Urban Photo Race Rotterdam. Three competition tiers ran in parallel: Long (24 hours, 10 themes), Medium (12 hours, first 6 themes), and Short (6 hours, first 3 themes). The format let participants self-select intensity. Short-format competitors raced alongside the long-format pack on shared opening themes.
