Vertical-Life Photo Contest 2024 - The Aesthetics of Indoor Climbing

Our beloved indoor climbing photo contest is back! For the past three years, climbers have shared stunning images that captured the essence of indoor climbing, and this year, weโ€™re looking for even more inspiring shots!

Throughout October, submit your best indoor climbing photos for a chance to win exclusive prizes from BEAL! We want to see photos that showcase the beauty of the climbing gymโ€”the colourful movements, artistic route setting, and the vibrant community. Remember, every photo should feature people, and safety is key!

To join, simply upload an indoor photo to the Vertical-Life web gallery, select โ€œIndoorโ€, and tag your gym. Share the image link to collect Vengas!

A jury will select 3 lucky winners to win BEAL vouchers, and thereโ€™s also a Crowd Favourite prize for the photo that gets the most Vengas!

PRIZES:
โ€ข 1st Place: โ‚ฌ 1000 BEAL online shop voucher
โ€ข 2nd Place: โ‚ฌ 500 BEAL online shop voucher
โ€ข 3rd Place: โ‚ฌ 200 BEAL online shop voucher
โ€ข Crowd Favourite: 1 Year Vertical-Life Premium

The best shots will be featured in our Climbing Gym Gear Guide magazine, coming this November! ๐Ÿ“–

Get snapping and show us your best work!
