The Kendal Mountain Festival Photography Competition 2025 aims to showcase exceptional images from around the world, celebrating the unique power of a single photograph to inspire, challenge, and spark reflection.

We invited photographers to submit work that captures the spirit of adventure and the beauty of the natural world, through images that tell compelling visual stories.

Photographers were invited to submit entries in the following categories:
