Canon Singapore has successfully concluded the 19th edition of the Canon PhotoMarathon 2025, a prominent event in Singapore’s photography calendar. Held on 19 July at Fountain Square@Clarke Quay, the event attracted over 600 photography enthusiasts who competed under the theme “One Click, One Vibe.” Participants were challenged to capture images across three mystery themes—Home, Vintage, and Vibe(s)—with each theme revealed at intervals throughout the day.
The competition offered a total prize pool of approximately $50,000 in Canon products, encouraging participants to race across Singapore, conceptualising and submitting their photos within a two-hour window per theme. Andrew Koh, Senior Vice President and Head of Singapore Operations at Canon Singapore, highlighted the event’s role in promoting creativity and technical excellence, stating, “Canon PhotoMarathon has grown from a competition into a vibrant showcase of creativity, diversity and technical excellence that fuels the photography community in Singapore.”
Canon continued its partnership with APSN, a social service agency supporting individuals with mild intellectual disabilities, by inviting APSN students to participate in the student categories. This collaboration reflects Canon’s philosophy of kyosei—living and working together for the common good.
The event not only celebrated the art of photography but also fostered inclusivity and community spirit. Muhammad Faris, CCA Arts Coordinator at APSN Delta Senior School, remarked, “The Canon PhotoMarathon reflects our school’s values and motivates students to believe in themselves.”
Beyond the competition, Canon Singapore offers workshops and guided shoots to nurture the local photography scene, providing opportunities for photographers to enhance their skills and creativity.
