There’s something special about this time of year.
The harvest is coming in. Kitchens are filled with the aromas of favorite fall recipes. Friends and families are gathering around the table, celebrating traditions, sharing stories, and making memories.
And somewhere in all those moments, there’s a photograph waiting to happen.
As a proud global headline sponsor of the World Food Photography Awards, Bimi® Baby Broccoli invites you to see the season through a different lens and capture the food stories that matter to you.
Because great food photography isn’t just about what’s on the plate. It’s about the people, places, and moments that make food meaningful.
A Season Worth Capturing
From bustling farmers markets and colorful harvests to beautifully prepared meals and lively dinner tables, fall and winter offer endless inspiration for food photography.
Maybe it’s the hands of a farmer gathering the season’s crops. A family recipe passed down through generations. The finishing touches on a holiday feast. Or a candid moment of laughter shared over a meal.
These are the stories that connect us through food. And they deserve to be captured.
Your Moment in the Spotlight
Now in its 16th year, the World Food Photography Awards celebrates the art of food photography and the stories it tells around the globe.
With more than 25 categories spanning everything from growing and harvesting to cooking, eating, and celebrating, the competition invites photographers of all backgrounds to share their unique perspectives.
And the opportunities go well beyond the competition itself. Entrants have the chance to see their work exhibited in London, attend the glittering Champagne Taittinger Awards Evening, and gain international media exposure, bringing their photography to audiences around the world.
Whether your passion is food styling, documentary photography, travel, or simply capturing the beauty of everyday food moments, there’s a world of inspiration to explore.
Explore the World Food Photography Awards categories and discover where your photographs might fit.

The 2027 competition introduces The Newcomer Prize, a brand-new category created especially for first-time entrants.

It’s an exciting opportunity to share your perspective with an international audience, and the category winner will also be eligible for the Overall Winner title.
Fresh From the Field: The Bimi® Prize
There’s no better time than harvest season to appreciate the natural beauty of fresh fruits and vegetables. From vibrant colors and intricate textures to the people and places behind the harvest, there’s inspiration everywhere you look.
That’s exactly what The Bimi® Prize celebrates.
As proud global sponsor of the World Food Photography Awards, Bimi® Baby Broccoli champions exceptional photography that captures the beauty of fresh produce in all its forms.
And there’s something delicious at stake! The winning photographer will receive dinner for two at a Michelin-starred restaurant (or equivalent), plus up to $500 in travel expenses per person.
Here’s the best part: There’s no separate entry required. Simply submit your fresh fruit or vegetable photographs to an eligible World Food Photography Awards category, such as Cream of the Crop, Food in the Field, or Food for Sale. If your image makes the shortlist, it could be selected as the winner of The Bimi® Prize.
A Little Inspiration Goes a Long Way
Not sure where to start? Look around you.
Some of the most compelling food photographs tell stories through the smallest details: hands preparing a meal, ingredients fresh from the garden, steam rising from a favorite dish, or the joy of gathering around a table.
The World Food Photography Awards’ past finalists offer a beautiful reminder that food photography can be joyful, surprising, intimate, and deeply moving.
