THE THEME - REFLECTIONS
The theme according to:
With these words, Nurlan Tahirli, runner-up of the last edition of the EA Cup, proposed and explained the theme of REFLECTIONS.
It is about the moments when you catch a glimpse of something familiar in a new way. For me, it’s about pausing, noticing, and finding meaning in the small, reflective moments we usually pass by. This theme is a chance to slow down, look closer, and share the beauty or meaning you find in those mirrored moments.
The EA Cup 2025 member trophy will be divided into knockout rounds: each photo in the race will be randomly associated with another photo as an opponent.
The photo with the most votes will advance to the next round.
The participants themselves will be called to vote and the quality of the vote will be guaranteed by the scoring system of the "Best voter" award which will motivate the members to vote rewarding photographic quality and enhancing their intuition as photographers.
