The search for the best tennis imagery of 2025 is underway, with the launch of the ITF Tennis Photograph of the Year competition.
The game’s global governing body is welcoming entries from both professional and amateur photographers across the world, with a top prize of $3,000 USD on offer for the winner.
The ITF is responsible for supporting tennis from global development through each stage of the player pathway to the very top of the game, and the competition is designed to celebrate the breadth of that work.
The winner, runner-up and top 10 shortlist will be selected by a judging panel consisting of ITF President David Haggerty, tennis photographer Paul Zimmer and two-time Grand Slam champion Garbine Muguruza.
