More than a thousand thousand words
One of the Oslo photomarathon organizers, Terje Abusdal, who seems to be a wicked photographer himself, alerted me to the 12 hour photomarathon he’s organizing in Oslo on August 21.
Any camera is allowed and the event will feature 12 themes.

Also, in September, in the Turkish town of Gaziantep, a four day photography event will be held. I’d love to get more details from anyone who’s Turkish is better than mine. That is, who’s Turkish exists. More info here.
Helsinki is doing it right, organizing a 24 hour photomarathon this Saturday. Make your way there now! More info here (in Finnish).
This means there will be at least four photomarathons around the globe this Saturday!
Fnac is sponsoring events in Elsene and Antwerp, both in Belgium, on the 26th of June. They’re calling it a photomarathon, but there will only be four themes. Registration is 10 euros and is done in pairs. More info here (in Dutch).
Madrid sees a three hour event on June 18th which they call a photomarathon. Three hours sounds rather short, but it is cool that they expect some 1500 photographers to participate. More info here, here and here (all in Spanish).
Tif-q is also organizing what they call a photomarathon in Quito (Ecuador), but not disclosing how many photos and/or themes they require. It will start on the 12th of June and lasts 24 hours, so whatever the amount of themes, this seems to be a fairly proper photomarathon.
More info here (in Spanish).
The town of Sant Antoni de Portmany in Ibiza is having a photographic event on the 5th of June. Four themes and a 12 euro entrance fee. More info here (in Spanish).
Also on the 5th of June, Fontenay-sous-bois, close to downtown Paris, is organizing an event they also call a photomarathon. They require three series of photos, where for each series you get 45 minutes. It will probably be interesting. More info here (in French).
Furthermore, Zagreb is lyrical about their upcoming photomarathon in September.
FNAC is facilitating a photography event in Sient-Etienne, in France, on June 12. They’re calling it a photomarathon (or to be precise, as they’re French, “marathon photo”), but as it’s only three themes, the term is applied loosely.
More info here (in French).
