Nordic Society of Photography 10 Years!

To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we will produce a printed catalog containing the images awarded medals in previous years’ Nordic Photography Championship and those from this year’s competition. The catalog will be sent to all previous winners and to all the participants in 2025. It will also be available for purchase through the Nordic national photography federations.

The images awarded medals and diplomas/HM in this year’s competition (90 in total) will be exhibited in A3 format at The Nordic Photo Expo at Galleri K-ringen in Motala, Sweden, from July 18 to August 17, 2025, in collaboration with the Nordic Society of Photography. We will, therefore, request high-resolution image files from these photographers.

Conditions of entry:

  • Each photographer can participate with up to four (4) images in each section. An image can only be submitted into one of the sections.
  • The image files must have the jpg format, with the maximum format 1920 x 1080 px (width x height), and the size must be a maximum of 2 MB.
  • Images awarded or accepted in a previous round of the Nordic Photography Championship – or close to identical to a previously awarded/accepted image – can not be resubmitted.
  • An image can be rejected if the jury or the competition committee considers it does not follow the competition rules or is otherwise considered deviating.
  • The organizer takes no responsibility for copyright abuse.
  • By submitting images to the competition, the photographer accepts that the images can be used by the organizer to promote this and upcoming competitions.

Deviations from the rules:

Images not meeting the competition rules can be disqualified without a fee refund.
