JENMAN Photo Competition

The year 2023 marked the launch of our JENMAN’s first-ever photo competition, a campaign born to highlight the beauty of African wildlife through the eyes of travellers.

The Photo of the Year Competition was a great success, with a massive response from professional and amateur photographers alike. With an impressive 206 entries, the competition presented an exciting platform for competitors to capture the beauty of African wildlife.

With nearly 2000 votes, the people’s support not only shows a passion for appreciating Africa’s wildlife, but also shows the JENMAN community’s active engagement in deciding the winning photo. The competition’s impact goes well beyond the lens, encouraging a collective recognition of the continent’s rich biodiversity and the artistic talent of its participants.

Stay tuned for the unveiling of the 2024 competition, inviting everyone to enter photos captured between January 1st and December 31st, 2024.

The theme for 2024 will be announced soon!
