2024 FIBA Photo Contest

EMOTIONS

From 21^stof October to 21^stof December 2024Capture and share the emotions that basketball inspires in you.

FIBA Photo Contest

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.

Share your passion with us – tell us how basketball moves your emotions and makes you feel truly alive.

You can upload a maximum of three photos connected with the theme. Do not forget to include the title, author and country of origin.

Let us know, in 140 characters, the photo’s story, what inspires you, how you felt taking it, any technical details, or any other message you would like to convey.
