A true photographic adventure through the streets and corners of the historic center, the TEENS Photo Marathon is the Sirmione Photography Award contest dedicated to young creatives. Young participants will be challenged to observe, interpret, and narrate Sirmione through their own eyes, transforming every corner into a story to photograph.

Numerous prizes are up for grabs in both categories (up to 13 years old and 14–17 years old) and for both the winners of the individual themes and the top three overall.

• A photography workshop at the Grotte di Catullo with Roberto Bellini
• Photographic equipment provided by New Free Photo in collaboration with FujiFilm
• Large-format printing of the winning photo
• A hospitality experience in Sirmione

A special workshop for young photographers

Among the “educational” prizes of the TEENS Photo Marathon is the “Fotografi di scena” (Stage Photographers) workshop, designed especially for young people. The workshop will be led by Roberto Bellini, professional photographer and member of the competition jury.

The workshop will take place on Friday, July 3rd at the Grotte di Catullo and will offer winners a unique experience: the chance to photograph during the rehearsals and performance of the opening concert of the Garda Lake Music Excellence. This is an exclusive opportunity to explore stage photography and learn firsthand.

Photographic Equipment

New Free Photo, in collaboration with FujiFilm, is supporting the initiative again this year, providing photographic equipment to recognize young talents and encourage their creativity.

Your time has come: participate in the TEENS Photo Marathon!
Unleash your creativity: reveal the hidden soul of the city and tell a unique story through images!
