The 2025 Mammut Photo Contest has partnered with Leica Camera to hide gear and cameras in remote, cinematic locations worldwide. This “Finders/Keepers” activation is part scavenger hunt and part campaign launch, designed to fuel real-world adventure and creative participation. And while the images might be inspiring, this contest isn’t just for pros or peak-baggers. It’s about storytelling, connection, and emotion – your photo doesn’t have to be “epic” to win. Everyone is encouraged to enter. Here are the details:
