The 11 categories are as follows: Nudity, Fashion, Cultural Heritage, Mobile Phone, Sports and Leisure, Portrait, Abstract, Nature and Landscapes, News and Politics, Press. [14] Submissions for the competition program are accepted from the beginning of December with the final selection being made during the first week of January.

[16] A panel made up of eminent international photographers judges the entries and decides on the winners. [17] [18] The winners receive the Balkan Photo Award in their category. [19] The education program kicks off after the festival opening and is made up of lectures and workshops organized in numerous venues across the city.
