The 2023 Bicycle Travel Photo Contest will open for submissions on July 1, 2023.
Adventure Cycling Association invites you to enter your most stunning photos — highlighting the beauty, adventure, and inspiration of bicycle travel — in our 14th Annual Bicycle Travel Photo Contest.
We're looking for your most spectacular bike travel images in five categories: the Adventure Cycling Route Network, Epic, People/Portraits, Around Camp, and Best Cover Photo. Your original images in digital format, capturing all aspects of bike travel, are eligible for the competition. For some examples of exceptional submissions, check out the 2021 Bicycle Travel Photo Contest winners.
The winning images will be printed in the July/August 2023 issue of Adventure Cyclist magazine — reaching over 53,000 people worldwide. The image will also be featured on adventurecycling.org, which is visited by more than a million people annually. Each year we also feature contest photos in our annual Adventure Cycling calendar. The winner of each category will receive $300, a one-year membership with Adventure Cycling, and an Adventure Cycling calendar.
To enter up to five (5) images per category, upload your photo(s) to Adventure Cycling's Submittable portal and fill out all required information before December 30, 2022 at 11:59pm Mountain Time.
