On the last edition, many amateur photographers did not expect to be awarded. Passion and talent sometimes succeed and overcome years of preparation and experience. To keep alive the interest of the Contest every day, the Picture Editor of the Siena International Photo Awards presents the “Photo of the Day”. It is chosen among thousands of images from all over the world. This is an interesting way to anticipate the expectations around the contest. It is a sort of “appetizer” waiting for the maincourse which is going to be the Immagine all the people sharing all the world photo exhibition. It will take place in a modern building “Ex-Distilleria Lo Stellino” in Via Fiorentina in Siena from October 26th to December 1st.
The PANGEA prize is the symbol of the SIPA contest. A purest crystal ball that represents Earth but also a drop of light that feeds photography. A symbol that wants to convey the passion and perfection of the sought-after light in every shot.
