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!
“Every time I get to represent Canada at the WPC, I feel a wave of pride, excitement… and a tiny bit of imposter syndrome (because wow, Canada has talent). Being part of such an incredible team is always an honour. Go Team Canada!”
2026 World Top 10 / Rabih Madi
Rabih is a wedding storyteller, capturing the magic of one of the biggest days in people’s lives, because let’s face it, making people cry happy tears is just too much fun to pass up! I feel this image has an emotional tone to it —minimalist yet full of meaning—representing unity, love across boundaries. The light in between them is the sun reflecting on the surface and it seems as when they will join hands, it will be in the light that is shining through.
