Short description

FIBA Photo Contest 2024, international photography competition organized by FIBA Foundation invites everyone regardless of age, nationality and country of residence to participate with the best shots.

This year, photographers and basketball lovers may submit their photos that best illustrate the theme EMOTIONS. Capture and share the emotions that basketball inspires in you. The adrenaline of a game day, the tension of a last-second play, the euphoria of a win, the disappointment of a loss or the passion of the fans.
The joy of bouncing a ball for the first time, the pride of a parent, the effort in training, the frustration after an injury or the intensity of a referee making a split-second decision.
That inner calm that you look for when you are exhausted, down or need to think; and you only find on the court shooting alone.
If your heart beats to the rhythm of basketball, tell us what you feel. Photos taken during FIBA Events, or a work product of a FIBA or FIBA Foundation designation or assignment will not be considered for the contest.

The Contest will be a unique opportunity for all keen photographers and basketball lovers to show their talents.

You can upload a maximum of three photos connected with the theme.

The winners will be announced in February 2025.
