The French Association of Optometrists (AOF) has launched an exciting photography contest centered around the human eye, inviting all opticians and optometrists to participate in this creative competition. The contest aims to showcase original and inspiring images from the ocular universe, highlighting the complexity and splendor of the eye through the lens of photography.
Participants are encouraged to capture unique perspectives that demonstrate the beauty and intricacy of vision and eye care. The competition is open exclusively to opticians and optometrists who wish to express their artistic vision while celebrating their professional field. To draw inspiration, interested photographers can view the winners from the 2025 contest, which are available for reference.
The submission process is straightforward and accessible to all eligible professionals. Contestants may submit up to three photographs maximum, and each submission must be accompanied by specific required information. This includes providing a title for each photograph, the participant's full name (first and last name), and their complete address for contact and verification purposes.
The primary incentive for participation lies in the prestigious exposure opportunity awaiting the winners. Selected photographs will be displayed before an audience of experts during the Congress of Optometry and Contactology 2026 (CoC), scheduled to take place on January 25-26, 2026. This professional gathering represents a significant platform for showcasing artistic talent within the optometry community.
Multiple winners will be recognized and celebrated within the professional community, providing valuable recognition and networking opportunities. The contest offers participants a chance to gain visibility among their peers and establish themselves as creative professionals in the field of optometry and eye care.
Prospective participants should note that the submission deadline is December 31, 2025, giving ample time for photographers to prepare their entries. Additional information about contest rules, submission guidelines, and technical requirements can be found on the official AOF website, where interested parties can access comprehensive details about the competition.
