Landscape
Saudi Arabia's natural landscapes are as diverse as they are
magnificent. From the serene dunes of the Rub' al Khali to the
lush mountains of Asir, each snapshot can reveal the untold
splendor of our environment. Showcase the stark beauty and
contrast of our kingdom, where nature carves history into every
grain of sand and mountain trail.
Light
Immerse yourself in the interplay of light with Saudi Arabia's
architectural marvels, where the gleaming facades of Riyadh's
skyscrapers and the shadowed contours of Diriyah's ancient
adobe tell a story at every hour. Let light be your guide as
it dances across structures, defining edges of modernity and
softening into the echoes of tradition. Capture how light
shapes our perception, from the razor-sharp lines of
progressive design to the gentle whisper of history etched in
stone, illuminating a nation's journey between the past and
the future.
Portrait
Every face has a story, every garment weaves a narrative. In
this category, we seek to unveil the personal and communal
tales that pulse through the heart of Saudi culture. Be it
through the intricate dance of the Ardha or the daily hum of a
souq, we invite you to share the human threads that knit our
societal tapestry.
Collection
Saudi Arabia is the birthplace of Islam, and this category
calls for images that reflect the spiritual and cultural depth
of Islamic tradition. Capture the solemnity of prayer in
Masjid Al Haram, the majesty of minarets against the sunset,
or the intricate Arabic calligraphy that adorns our mosques
and cities, echoing the profound soul of our Islamic
heritage.
