2023 FIBA Photo Contest Celebrates Basketball For Good

MIES (Switzerland) - The FIBA Foundation is thrilled to announce the 7th edition of the FIBA Photo Contest - celebrating Basketball For Good on the occasion of the inaugural World Basketball Day.

To celebrate the inaugural World Basketball Day, the FIBA Foundation decided to launch the FIBA Photo Contest on the 21st of December. Officially proclaimed by the United Nations, this new international day is promoting the positive social impact brought by the game of basketball.

Therefore, the theme for this edition is Basketball For Good to honor our sport’s power to transcend borders, cultures, capabilities, and languages. It serves as an educational tool, a common playground where people from different backgrounds can come together, bond and communicate with each other, creating connections, promoting values, breaking down barriers, and thereby contributing to peace and well-being.

The FIBA Photo Contest is a unique opportunity for all keen photographers and basketball lovers to show their talents and love for the game.

The annual FIBA Photo Contest is open to submissions from the 21st of December 2023 to the 21st of February 2024. To participate, click here.

The event has grown over the past 6 years and has become one of the biggest basketball-related photo contests in the world. In 2022, 98 different countries from all 5 regions of the world have participated which is the highest number recorded.
