RESET: Icare Cup Photo Exhibition
RESET
What if we put away our altimeters once and for all and really looked up at the sky?
That’s what paragliding was all about in the beginning: the freedom of a view, the light of the golden hour, the exhilaration of a silent flight. Over time, amid all the performances, rankings, and flight data, we’ve sometimes lost sight of that.
Reset is Supair’s invitation to rediscover the very essence of your sport—a complete reconnection with nature, the landscapes, and the people flying alongside you. No competition. Just authentic moments.
A photo contest, a group exhibition.
The concept is simple—and that's by design. You take the photos, we put them on display, and the public votes.
From July 16 to August 12, you sent us your most beautiful aerial landscape photos, moments of daily life at the takeoff sites, and the shared excitement among pilots.
An in-house jury selected 12 finalist photos, which will be displayed in large format at the Supair booth during the Coupe Icare. The thousands of festivalgoers in attendance will be able to vote for their favorite photo in a designated ballot box set up on site throughout the week.
But everyone is featured. The other participants' photos will be displayed because every image deserves to be seen.

Selection of the 12 finalists
The Supair in-house jury has selected the 12 photos that will earn a spot at the Coupe Icare. These 12 finalists have qualified for the large-format exhibition at the Supair booth, will be featured in the 2027 Supair calendar, and, most importantly, are in the running to win the prizes up for grabs.
Coupe Icare – Exhibition at the booth
The 12 qualifying photos will be on display in front of thousands of festivalgoers. Displayed in large format at the Supair booth, they will be open to a public vote. Each visitor chooses their favorite, and it is the visitors who determine the overall winners.
Saturday, September 19, at 5:00 p.m. – Awards Ceremony
Speech on the new Supair values, announcement of the winners, and awards ceremony followed by a group reception.
What's at stake.
Let's be honest—there are some great gifts waiting for us at the end.
Because a great photo deserves recognition, Supair has prepared prizes for the finalists and all participants. For the 12 selected finalists, your photo will be featured in the 2027 Supair calendar.
