The body is constantly in motion, we are never completely still. However, if you can capture this in a picture that is amazing because of how difficult it is to capture it at exactly the right time. As Vincent Versace says
A still photograph is called a still photograph because the picture doesn’t move, not because the objects in the picture are not in motion. The photographer's mission, should he decide to accept it, is to capture motion with stillness.
This competition is big, because it's worldwide. Imagine competing with everyone around the world; or how hard it will be to pick a winner. Pictures of people doing something while moving is so hard because you don't want to capture a big blur.
