Canon<\/span><\/span><\/a> brought back its flagship photography event, Canon Photomarathon 2026<\/span><\/span>, after a seven-year hiatus, drawing over 1,200 participants to Bonifacio Global City.<\/p>\n

The competition marked a renewed push to engage the local creator community, blending photography, video, and hands-on workshops in a full-day event focused on visual storytelling.<\/p>\n

\u201cFeel It\u201d theme drives winning street photography entry<\/h4>\n

Von Cedrick Cunanan<\/span><\/span> emerged as Grand Champion after capturing a candid moment of a jeepney driver resting under the midday heat. The image interpreted the event\u2019s theme, \u201cFeel It,\u201d through a grounded, everyday scene tied to labor and urban life.<\/p>\n

Cunanan\u2019s approach reflects a broader shift toward socially aware storytelling in street photography, where emotional context and real-life narratives often resonate more than staged compositions.<\/p>\n

The win also highlights the accessibility of modern photography tools. Cunanan previously used a Canon<\/a> EOS RP and took home a Canon EOS R6 Mark III with an RF24-105mm lens as part of the prize.<\/p>\n

Expanded format includes video category and broader participation<\/h4>\n

Canon Photomarathon 2026<\/a> introduced a Video Category for the first time, signaling the growing overlap between photography and video content creation. The event also opened participation to all digital camera users, expanding beyond brand-specific categories.<\/p>\n

This shift reflects how content creation continues to evolve, with creators increasingly working across multiple formats for platforms like social media and digital portfolios.<\/p>\n

Creator Park and workshops highlight hands-on learning<\/h4>\n

The event transformed the BGC Amphitheater into a creative space, featuring themed shooting zones and live demonstrations. The Canon Creator Park included setups for pet photography, cosplay, and portrait sessions, giving participants real-world shooting scenarios.<\/p>\n

Workshops led by industry professionals covered topics such as wildlife photography, cityscapes, and video production. These sessions emphasized skill-building alongside competition, reinforcing the event\u2019s role as both a showcase and a learning platform.<\/p>\n

Canon strengthens creator ecosystem in the Philippines<\/h4>\n

The return of Canon Photomarathon signals the company\u2019s continued investment in the Philippine creator ecosystem. By combining competition, education, and community engagement, Canon positions itself not just as a hardware provider, but as a platform for creative development.<\/p>\n
