The photo contest we are organizing is in no way affiliated with Apple Inc. or Meta Platforms Inc. Apple Inc. / Meta Platforms Inc. is neither a sponsor nor involved in any way in our photo contest.

Participation in the photo contest is free of charge and is open only to adults who have an internet connection, an email address, an Instagram profile, and a photo they have taken themselves. No photo may be submitted by a third party on behalf of the creator. Only individuals residing in the following countries may participate: Germany, Austria, Switzerland.

Employees of Moving Adventures Medien, as well as of other companies involved in organizing the photo contest, are not eligible to participate.

By participating in the contest, participants acknowledge and accept these contest rules. No other form of participation is permitted.

Participation in this photo contest is voluntary. Each participant may submit a maximum of five photos. For each submission, the digital entry form must be completed in full and submitted again. The entry form asks for contact information, the photo you took yourself, a suitable title, and a brief explanation of why the photo captures a true adventure.

The photo contest is accessible only via the Internet at the following address: https://eoft.eu/landingpages/25-years-of-eoft. If the contest or circumstances so require, the organizer reserves the right to postpone, modify, cancel, or renew the contest. The organizer cannot be held liable in any of these cases.

The photo contest begins on July 1, 2026, and runs through September 21, 2026. Photos may be submitted during the first phase, from July 1, 2026, through August 31, 2026. In the second phase, from September 7, 2026, to September 21, 2026, a public vote will take place among six photos pre-selected by the organizer. The selection will take into account ongoing votes on Instagram posts on the @europeanoutdoorfilmtour channel.

The winners will be determined after the voting period ends. The winners will be notified by email. If they do not respond within a specified timeframe, their claim to the prize will be forfeited.

Photos must have been taken with a camera or a smartphone. The use of AI tools (e.g., Midjourney) is not permitted and will result in automatic disqualification. Each photo must be given a title; please use the designated column in the submission form for this purpose: The title should briefly reference the theme “Real Adventures” in a few words.

Only basic photo editing and color corrections are permitted (e.g., adjustments to brightness, contrast, sharpness, mood, and white balance).

Inappropriate submissions will result in disqualification. The decision regarding what constitutes an inappropriate submission will be made at the reasonable discretion of the organizer’s jury.

Submissions must meet the following technical criteria:

• Medium: Photos taken digitally or on film are permitted. All film prints and slides must be digitized at high resolution using a scanner and submitted digitally. No physical prints will be accepted.

• Online submission format: JPG

• Minimum image size: 12 megapixels (e.g., 4032 x 3024 pixels)

• Maximum file size for upload: 15 megabytes

If there is any doubt regarding the authenticity of a submission, the original file (RAW, TIFF, or original mobile device file) may be requested by the internal EOFT judging team for analysis.

Participants must have completed and submitted the entry form between July 1, 2026, and August 31, 2026.

After the submission period ends on August 31, 2026, the organizer will select six images. These images will then be available for voting at https://eoft.eu/landingpages/25-years-of-eoft. Anyone interested may vote. Each email address is valid only once for this purpose. The vote serves as a guideline for the organizer in determining the winners.

The creators of the three winning photos will be invited to the premiere of the European Outdoor Film Tour in mid-October 2026 (the location, as well as further terms and details, will be announced by early August 2026 at the latest; travel expenses are not included).

Once the winners have confirmed their attendance, the following additional prizes will be sent by email shortly thereafter:
