We strive to expand our horizons, and those of our audiences, through a rich, multi-faceted and diverse collection of stories from, and representational of, the global LGBTQIA+ community. The Pride Photo 2025 Contest is open to photographers of all ages, backgrounds and calibers, from professional to amateur.

We invite you all to apply, and hope to see this openness reflected in the submissions for the 2025 Pride Photo Contest. Whether through documentary photography that highlights news events, and the realities of daily life, or whether through artistic expression using portraiture, collage, photographic intervention, or AI. The Pride Photo Contest is open to all formats of photography and image-based storytelling that work to express the varied and multifaceted lives and lived experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community from around the world.
