As the curtain falls on this extraordinary celebration of sports photography, we are excited to announce that pre-sales for the book PLAY! Let the Game Begin will begin shortly. This volume features the award-winning images and tells stories of passion, dedication, and competition.

During these Olympic days, as athletes strive to reach the pinnacle of their abilities, we are reminded that beyond medals and trophies, what truly matters is participation. Every shot and every gesture is a tribute to the courage and determination that drive the world of sports.

We invite you to continue being part of this creative adventure and to join us for our new editorial initiatives in 2025. Just as in the grand Olympic Games, where each participant contributes to the magic of the event, every author enriches our journey through photography and storytelling. Be ready to write the next chapter with us.
