Board Culture Exposure
is an international photography contest dedicated to skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding photography, Board Culture’s flagship disciplines.
First event of its kind in France, B.C.E was born from a deep will, introducing photographic masterpieces of our culture to a broader audience, and by doing so, highlighting the indivisible bond between the athletes and the ones documenting their feats. Open to all, professionals as well as amateurs, from all corners of the planet.
This new cultural and artistic event will honor photography and board sports enthusiasts by offering them a new playground and unprecedented visibility. In addition, it will aim to magnify the most beautiful views on the culture of skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding by celebrating the works of the most talented photographers.
All the prizes will be awarded by the jury at the ceremony, alongside the photo exhibition reserved for all the finalists. The event will take place in Biarritz in November 2024.
A winner will be chosen in each category (Skate / Surf / Snowboard / Lifestyle / Reportage).
The People’s Choice Award will go to the photograph that receives the most votes in the Instagram poll, which will run from 15 September to 31 October. This photograph will also be exhibited at the Casino de Biarritz.
In partnership with LEICA, Major Partner of the B.C.E., we have decided to create a new prize, the Grand Prix Du Jury, which will be awarded to the best photograph in all categories in this first edition. The winner will receive a Leica camera (the exact model will be announced shortly).
The prizes awarded to each winner will be announced at a later date.
The competition is only open from 15 April to midnight on 30 June 2024. After this date, no photo will be taken into account for the 2024 edition of the B.C.E.
