World Photographic Cup / Top 10
Like the Olympics, with nations from around the globe participating, the World Photographic Cup is far from a typical photo competition; it’s a prestigious event that celebrates the art of photography on a global stage. In this unique format, photographers from 28 nations around the world compete not only as individuals but as a cohesive team representing their country.
Canada’s submitted images demonstrated the remarkable skill and artistry of our country’s photographers and highlighted the team’s dedication to excellence and their ambition to shine on the world stage. Each Top 10 recognition serves as a testament to their collective talent and hard work, fostering a strong sense of unity and national pride as they cheered on their teammates’ success.
All Top 10 finalists are now heading to Reykjavik, Iceland this April to represent Canada at the WPC Awards Ceremony. Their image is in the running for individual Gold, Silver, or Bronze medals and depending on their final ranking, these images have the chance to help Team Canada win the World Photographic Cup!
“The World Photography Cup is special. It’s an international stage where teams represent their countries. I am so proud to have been a part of Team Canada three times but this year to have my image be selected as one of the Top 10 is extra special. I am grateful and honoured.”
2026 World Top 10 / Manpreet Sokhi
When I see a shy, quiet 16 year old, get on stage after getting into her dance clothes, I see a transformation happen. This dancer now displays passion and energy that controls the stage and the audience. It’s as if she is the master of her world. In this image titled “Dancing up a Storm”, I tried to encapsulate that feeling into a two dimensional image.
