The 5^th edition of “Run for art”, an international photo contest for young photographers that combines art and sport, has been officially launched by the Giulio Onesti Foundation – Italian National Olympic Academy.

The contemporary challenge to ability and disability.” The 5th edition will focus on the evolving concept of sport for the youngest generations as well as on the introduction of new sports trends at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020; moreover, it will explore convergences between the new five Olympic sports and their Paralympic versions. The 40 finalist photographs, selected by an international jury of excellence, will be exhibited in museums and prestigious international locations and, starting from this edition, will become part of the online exhibition.

Participation is free and open to all young photographers, both amateur and professional, who are between 18 and 35 years old and of any nationality. The photographs can be taken with any type of camera or device. The deadline for entries is 30 September 2021.
