- ‘Zone RAMOGE’, for photos taken between Marseille and La Spezia,
- ‘L’Homme et la Mer, le regard des nouvelles générations’, reserved for photographers under the age of 25.
- and ‘Thème Libre’, an open theme category.
This edition’s jury includes internationally renowned photographers, such as Riccardo Busi (FIAP President), Greg Lecoeur (“Nature Photographer of the Year” – National Geographic, 2016), and Sergio Pitamitz (“Environmental Photojournalist of the Year” – NPPA, 2016).
