☀️ Summer is just around the corner! And we’re celebrating with the return of the most beloved photo competition among pilgrims from all over the world: the Francigena Photo Contest 2025.
Organised by the Swiss Association of the Via Francigena (ASVF – www.viafrancigenasuisse.ch) and promoted by AEVF, the contest will run from 1 June to 30 September 2025.
This initiative is open to all pilgrims, cyclists, walkers and hikers who travel along the European route during summer 2025, and invites you to share your on-the-road adventures—rewarding the best photos and reels from your Via Francigena experience.
To enter, simply follow these 4 easy steps:
- Post one or more photos or videos (reels) from your journey on Instagram and/or Facebook (posts only, no stories!).
- In the caption, include:
– A description
– The location where the photo was taken
– The hashtag #FrancigenaContest2025 - Follow and tag the profiles:
– @viafrancigena_eu on Instagram
– @ViaFrancigenaEU on Facebook - And then… wait for the results! 🤞🐞🍀
📌 Please note:
– Your profile must be public to participate.
– If you post a gallery or album, only the first photo will be considered.
– Missing tags, hashtags, or failure to follow the Via Francigena profiles will result in disqualification.
🚩 WHAT HAPPENS AFTER 30 SEPTEMBER?
Entries will be reviewed by 15 October 2025 by an internal jury made up of members from the European Association of the Via Francigena (AEVF) and the Swiss Association of the Via Francigena (ASVF), who will select one winner for each of the following categories:
