Welcome to the Messner Mountain Museum photo competition: Your perspective counts!

Invitation to all photography enthusiasts

The mountain world is fascinating and inspiring, and it tells stories. Our six Messner Mountain Museums are places where these stories can be seen and experienced.

As part of our corporate identity and design renewal, we are organising a big photo competition together with Marketing Brains and the renowned Swiss photographer Thomas Biasotto. We are looking for the most impressive photos that showcase our six museums and their breathtaking scenery, whether dramatic panoramas and architectural shots, tranquil interiors or special details. We want photographs that capture the atmosphere and uniqueness of our places of experience.

Who can participate?

Everyone is invited, from professional photographers to ambitious amateurs. The decisive factor is not the equipment. It is the eye for the moment.

The winning images will become part of our new visual identity and be presented as part of an exhibition at MMM Firmian. They will also feature on our channels.

Duration of the competition: from July 2nd to October 31st 2025

Award ceremony:
The award ceremony for the best photos will take place at the end of the 2025 museum season at Sigmundskron Castle (MMM Firmian) with Swiss photographer Thomas Biasotto. All participants are welcome to attend the event.

There are the following prizes to be won for the 3 best entries:

Sony Alpha 7R V mit 24-70mm G-Master II worth 6.390 €
A Mammut voucher worth 1,000 €
Lowepro Pro Trekker BP 550 AW II photo backpack worth 470 €
