Finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for is here: Grid Photo Gallery’s Photography of the Year 2025. We invite photographers from around the world to take part in this challenge and compete with the most outstanding images showcased in our gallery throughout the year.
With no thematic limitations, this exhibition aims to celebrate the very best in photography — a visual experience we can only imagine will surpass everything we’ve presented so far. Landscapes, portraits, color or black and white images — all are welcome. What truly matters is the quality and the story a single photograph can tell.
For photographers who have taken part in our contests this year, please note that the top three images from each contest will be automatically entered into Grid Photo Gallery’s Photography of the Year 2025. Of course, you’re welcome to submit as many additional images as you like. We look forward to seeing your work and wish you the best of luck.
