The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) has launched the highly anticipated World Sight Day 2025 Photo Competition.
Since its inception in 2015, the IAPB World Sight Day Photo Competition has captured powerful moments that highlight the importance of eye health, the impact of vision loss, and the remarkable efforts of individuals and organisations working to ensure that everyone, everywhere can see clearly.
Now celebrating its 10th year, the competition, made possible with the support of Bayer, invites both amateur and professional photographers from around the world to showcase their skills and share their stories about what it means to #LoveYourEyes.
This year’s competition introduces a refreshed set of categories, including Love Your Eyes, Love Your Child’s Eyes, Love Your Eyes at Work, Love Health for All, and Eyes in Focus. Each category calls for images that demonstrate the importance of eye health and celebrate real stories of change and empowerment.
To mark the milestone anniversary, IAPB has also unveiled a special digital exhibition: Celebrating 10 Years of the World Sight Day Photo Competition. This curated gallery will feature standout entries and winning images from the past decade, celebrating the photographers and moments that have helped drive a global movement for vision.
“The World Sight Day Photo Competition is more than just a showcase of incredible photography; it’s a visual expression of the impact eye health has on lives. We are thrilled to be bringing the competition back for its 10th year. It is a fantastic opportunity to be part of World Sight Day, and I invite everyone to enter,” said Courtenay Holden, Head of Communications and Campaigns at IAPB.
“Celebrating a decade of impactful storytelling, the IAPB World Sight Day Photo Competition underscores the vital importance of eye health and the collective efforts to ensure clear vision for all. At Bayer, we are committed to engage and empower people and communities to prevent avoidable vision loss,” said Anna Braeken, Vice President, Global Ophthalmology Lead at Bayer.
The IAPB World Sight Day Photo Competition is part of the #LoveYourEyes campaign and is an opportunity to amplify voices, showcase innovation, and inspire collective action for universal eye health.
Submissions are now open at www.iapb.world/photo_competition. The competition closes on 20 October 2025; winners will be announced on 4 November 2025. Winners receive a cash prize, of US$1,000.
