Beirut Photo Marathon

Saturday, Jul 6, 2013
8:30am -> 8:30pm
Université Saint-Joseph (USJ)

The Beirut Photo Marathon is made up of amateur and professional photographers who will take to the streets of the city in a collective documentation project that captures one day in Beirut.

Register today and compete to produce 12 compelling photos in 12 hours under 12 themes, which will be revealed on marathon day.

After the marathon, FRAME Beirut will print and display 1,200 photos in a one-of-a-kind installation in the heart of the city. When brought together in one space, the collection of photos will form an installation well beyond the scope of typical exhibitions.

The installation venue will act as a canvas for “One City, One Day” (“بیروت في یوم”) meant to activate shared introspection, bringing to poignancy the contradictions, beauty, and reality of Beirut in one magnificent space.

These images will also hold historic value and significance for generations to come, as the moments the photographers capture will represent a day and age in the history of Beirut.
