Pamplemousse Magazine is thrilled to announce its very first photo contest! This is your opportunity to submit your best photograph from 2025 for a chance to be published in our upcoming issue, win fantastic prizes, and have your work seen by industry leaders and our passionate community of film enthusiasts.

The theme is simple: The Best of 2025. We invite you to look back at your work from this year and select the one image that stands out to you the most. It could be a portrait, still life, abstract, or landscape—we are not looking for a specific genre, but rather your absolute favorite and best photo of the year.

The only rule is that it must be an analog photograph. We are only accepting one entry per person, so make sure it’s a photograph you love. All entries will be personally reviewed by our guest juror. Thank you for being a part of our community—we can’t wait to see your unique vision of 2025.

  • Limited use: Usage rights should be limited to purposes directly related to the marketing/promotion of the competition, photos and photographers.
  • Specific Usage: Detailed information regarding where the images will be used for the promotion of the competition, this should include websites, social media, partners website, media outlets, books & calendars etc.
  • Moral Rights: Photographers should be credited whenever their images are used. This includes publication and Media not owned by the organiser. Editing and manipulation of the images should be kept to a minimum.
  • License Duration: The usage license should be limited in time with a maximum of 5 years, but ideally less.
  • Compensation: Photographers should be compensated for commercial use of their images beyond promotional purposes. This can be detailed in the terms or by a separate agreement.
