Photowalk

Photowalk at Fermilab: July 26, 2025

Applications for Photowalk 2025 are now open

Calling all photographers. How would you like the chance to take pictures in some of the most interesting places on the Fermilab campus, and then have your shots entered in an international contest?

Fermilab invites both amateurs and professional photographers to apply for a spot to capture exclusive, behind-the-scenes photographs of the laboratory on Saturday, July 26, 2025 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Photographers will be able to explore and take pictures of scientific experiments and equipment in five designated research areas that are not accessible to the public.

Space is limited for the Fermilab Photowalk event. Interested photographers must submit their online application by 11:59 p.m. CT on June 1, 2025. Please note that registration does not guarantee a spot in the Photowalk. Fermilab will notify all applicants of their selection status by the end of June.

Selected participants will have the chance to submit their top photos from the event to a panel of Fermilab judges. The panel will choose three local winners whose photos will advance to the worldwide Global Physics Photowalk competition. A shortlist of global finalists will be announced by the Interactions Collaboration in September, followed by a final selection through a jury and public vote. The winning photos will be featured in a future issue of the CERN Courier and in Symmetry magazine.
