"Nikon Creators Challenge" began in 2022 and has been held 21 times as part of an initiative to support all individuals who enjoy creative activities using Nikon products as "Nikon Creators."
With this renewal, the campaign's special website has been updated to host mini photo contests with specific themes every four months. Participation is easy—simply add the designated hashtags for each session. Any number of works captured with a Nikon camera body can be submitted.
From the submissions, 10 participants for each session will be certified as "Nikon Creators 2026" and awarded a 30,000 yen Nikon Direct coupon as a prize. Additionally, those interested will be invited to a free monitor program for Nikon's mirrorless "Z series" cameras. Works captured with these cameras are scheduled for exhibition at Nikon Plaza Tokyo and Osaka in 2027. Furthermore, these exhibited works will feature critique comments from Nikon College instructors.
We look forward to your participation and look forward to seeing your special photos.
