How it works

Before the race: a ticket, the start and a bag packed the night before.

• A ticket

  One per person, per race, on Eventbrite, open to anyone aged 18 and over. Tickets stay on sale until the first checkpoint closes.

• The start

  We announce where the race starts, and share the exact spot before race day. The other checkpoints stay secret until you reach them.

• Your kit

  A camera, charged batteries, empty cards, a charged phone and comfortable shoes. Tips & tricks has the rest.

The rules of the day, four of them.

• Check in at every checkpoint

  In person, the finish included: no check-in, no result.

• Each checkpoint is open for a set time

  Miss it and you are out of the race, so keep an eye on the clock.

• Shoot the themes in any order

  At any moment between the start and the finish, on race day.

• Three frames for each theme

  A series: three photographs that build one idea, in the order you choose.

After the race: you deliver, the jury reads, the winners are announced.

1. 1

   Deliver your series

   Choose your frames and upload them through the UPR web app before the deadline.

2. 2

   The jury reads them

   A jury of working photographers reads every series as one work, not three single pictures.

3. 3

   The results

   Winners for each theme and overall, announced on the race page and on Instagram, with their prizes.
