The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) has launched its World Sight Day 2025 Photo Competition.
The annual competition is designed to highlight the importance of eye health and the impact of vision loss, and has been running since 2015.
It also aims to recognise organisations and individuals who are working towards better vision globally.
The competition is open to both amateur and professional photographers from anywhere in the world, who are encouraged to share their skills and what #LoveYourEyes means to them.
Categories for 2025 include Love Your Eyes, Love Your Child’s Eyes, Love Your Eyes at Work, Love Health for All, and Eyes in Focus.
Photographers showcasing “real stories of change and empowerment” are encouraged to enter.
Alongside the competition, IAPB has brought together standout entries from the past 10 years in a specially curated digital exhibition, Celebrating 10 Years of the World Sight Day Photo Competition.
The digital exhibition celebrates entries from the past decade that have “helped drive a global movement for vision,” the IAPB said.

Holden added: “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.”
World Sight Day 2025 takes place on Thursday 9 October.
The competition will close on 20 October. Winners will receive a cash prize of $1000 and will be announced on 4 November. Online submissions are now open.
