Pir Shalyar is a unique holiday observed by the Hawrami people. This annual celebration takes place during the winter season, in the three weeks flanking the 40th day of winter, a date that aligns with the first Wednesday of February in the Gregorian Calendar. The hub of these activities is the capital city of the Hawraman Region, (aka Uraman Takht), in Eastern Kurdistan (northwestern Iran).
one of the stages of Pir Shalyar celebration involves the Kurdish dabke dance and drumming. In the early evening on Wednesday, Hawrami men and guests gather before Pir Shalyar's dwelling for drumming, Sufi dances, and contemplative remembrance. The festivities persist until the maghrib, or dusk, call to prayer. This act symbolizes unity, a collective effort fostering peace and joy. The week concludes with a parliamentary session, where tribal elections shape the parliamentary council.
– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наившим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.
– The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
– Only one strongest photo from each author is counted in the Best Photos ranking. Even if a photographer has several published works, only the highest-rated one is used to calculate their ranking position. As a result, the order of photos in the list may not match the author's final ranking position.
