The photograph captures a formal event taking place in front of a grand municipal building in Lisbon, Portugal. The scene is marked by three large, richly decorated banners hanging prominently on the facade of the building. Each banner features a deep burgundy background adorned with intricate golden patterns that frame a central coat of arms. The coat of arms consists of various symbolic elements, including a shield, scales of justice, and maritime motifs, indicative of Lisbon’s historical and cultural heritage.

The Annual Photography Poster Contest is a prestigious event designed to bring together photographers from various backgrounds and skill levels, ranging from enthusiastic amateurs to experienced professionals. This contest is a celebration of visual storytelling, inviting participants to craft poster-style photographs that not only captivate the eye but also tell profound stories through imagery. The theme for this year is “Narratives in Light,” a challenge to photographers to explore the profound impact of light in their compositions.
