The photographers will make there way from the Kenya Photo Marathon headquarters (to be announced) in groups or as individuals in search of great moments to capture following the secret topics/themes that will be handed to them prior to the official start of the Kenya Photo Marathon.
Beginning at 8:00 a.m., four of the secret eight themes will be handed to all participants before they line up in a mock road race marathon start set up. Then for four hours they must interpret and capture each theme with one single exposure in the exact sequence that they were revealed. Once the clock strikes 2:00 p.m., they will be ready to collect the next and final four topics/themes and move on to the next stage of the challenge.
By 6:00 p.m., they will be expected to be back and then the pictures will be printed and judges by a top professional photographer judge from the industry. After the marathon the judges will take several days and select the winning photos. Then the results will be showcased at a public exhibition where all photos will be displayed. The winning entries will be announced and celebrated.
