The IMS Photo Contest 2015

Sunrise from Punthuk Setumbu

The motto of 2015 is “Mountain.Faces”

Mountains all over the world are telling stories about climbers, conquering steep walls, alpinists undergoing harsh conditions, mountain people living between brusque rock formations, fighting on daily base against mother nature’s forces and animals adopting to almost unreal situations. Not only faces of mountaineers, climbers and mountain people, affected by pain and exhaustion for the “summit victory”, tell stories about mountains, but also tears of joy when reaching the top.

The IMS Photo Contest 2015 with the motto “Mountain.Faces” aims to get pictures, representing individual perspectives of the mountain, with all its facets and his conquerors and inhabitants. Show us with your picture, the mountain faces, no matter if they are made of rocks, made of flesh and blood or of fur. At the end all what counts is the uniqueness of the moment, captured for the eternity.

Show us through your camera lens the fascination and beauty of nature and win the KIKU Photo Award (up to 6.600 €) or the DJI Aerial Photo Award (Phantom 3 Advanced).

Eligibility : worldwide
Entry fee : free
Deadline : 31 July 2015
