This Contest is an international photo and film competition that aims to enrich imaging culture by providing an opportunity for professional and amateur photographers and filmmakers around the world to engage with one another. Since the first Contest was held in 1969, more than a half century ago, photographers, and more recently filmmakers, from countries and regions around the world have participated and shown their support. In the previous 39th Contest, a total of 35,000 participants from 180 countries and regions around the world submitted over 70,000 works.
The name for the 40th Contest has been updated from Nikon Photo Contest to Nikon Film and Photo Contest, in order to reflect an expanding focus on both photographers and filmmakers. The Contest logo has also been revamped with a new design that expresses the concept behind the Contest — a place where works created from diverse perspectives come together.
Sarah Leen Selected as Lead Judge
We are pleased to again welcome Sarah Leen as the Lead Judge for the Nikon Film and Photo Contest 2024-2025. In 2013, Sarah Leen became the first female director of photography for National Geographic magazine and National Geographic Partners. In 2020, she established the Visual Thinking Collective, a community of female editors, teachers and curators specialized in creating and managing visually driven projects. She has great influence over a wide variety of artists, beginning with the next generation of photographers.
«I am delighted to be returning as the lead judge for the 2024-2025 Nikon Film and Photo Contest. In my past role as the lead judge, I was very impressed with the quality of the photographs and the films that we received. For this next edition of the Contest, we are hoping to see photography and filmmaking that inspire and connect us through visual storytelling,» said Sarah Leen. «I would like to encourage all photographers and filmmakers to consider submitting your work to this contest not only for the exceptional prizes, but also for the opportunity for your work to be seen by both the public and members of our visual community. This could be a career-changing moment for you and your creative work.»
