History
Nikon has held film and photo contests for more than half a century since the Nikon Photo Contest International in 1969, with the aims of providing a place for professionals and amateurs alike around the world who love photos and films to interact, and contributing to the development of imaging culture.
Following the wider adoption of digital cameras in society, the environment surrounding cameras and imaging culture has changed significantly. The contest always seeks the best way to solicit entries for the times, so for the 34th contest in 2012, we changed the name to the Nikon Photo Contest. For the 40th contest this year, we changed the name to the Nikon Film and Photo Contest in response to the changing times, such as the diversification of media and the rise of personal video streaming devices. This contest continues to evolve in order to discover new perspectives and create new opportunities.
