Another year, another World Photography Day. This year, we’re gearing up to mark the occasion with a new photography challenge to spark your creativity. Last time, we asked you to capture ‘everyday athletes, unexpected performances’ (you can read the stories behind the winning images here) and the winning entries for National Photography Month here. Now, we’re turning our attention to blue hour.

The theme: blue hour

During blue hour, a period before sunrise and in the last stages of twilight, the sun sits below the horizon and casts a strong blue light. Depending on the season, the latitude of your location and whether the sun is between four and eight degrees below the horizon, blue hour lasts for 60 minutes. It often attracts photographers and videographers chasing moody and mysterious landscapes (that contrast with the warm glow of golden hour).

For World Photography Day, we invite you to capture the moments where the shadows dance, colours stretch and life winds down. To some, blue hour might mean a mighty landscape dotted with stars. To others, it’s a portrait of an animal that comes alive at this hour. What are the moments – and the stories – in between?

FAQs

Can you use any camera?

DSLR, mirrorless or Coolpix – the choice is yours, as long as it’s a Nikon.

Which countries can enter?

The challenge is open to residents in Europe.

Instagram reel or photo?

Photos or a reel of photos, although a reel featuring video won’t be accepted on this occasion!

Can I post images taken before August 2025?

Sure! As long as they fit the prompt.

How many times can I enter?

As many as you like. Please follow the instructions above.

Anything I can’t photograph?

We won’t accept depictions of violence, offensive material, nudity or wildlife in distress.

Are joint entries permitted?

Photographers can’t submit the same photograph. However, if you have set the model of your photograph as co-creator on Instagram, for example, you’ll need to make clear who the main author of the post is.

Good luck!
