The Best of STOKED Photo Contest 2025

By Paul.D

First things first! ! huge thank you to everyone who submitted photos to the “2025 STOKED Photo Contest”! We received over 160 entries from incredibly talented photographers, showcasing truly inspiring shots from all around the world. And as always, I’m grateful that cycling continues to be something that brings us all together.

So, without further ado, here are the top 3 in both the Digital and Film categories, followed by a gallery of other outstanding submissions we were lucky to receive.

Film Photography Category

This one’s a bit special… Even though we did the voting blind, without looking at any names, it just so happened that Sam, Ermanno, and I all picked the same photographer for first, second, and third place in the Film category. Pretty wild coincidence if you ask me, but even more reasons to give a huge congrats to @bombaychakrist, whose beautiful images from Thailand had us all dreaming.
