MANE photography competition: "Capture What Moves"


Einsendeschluss: 08.03.2024

(English version only)

“Transmission and creation are part of the values we defend within the company, and this competition is an opportunity to support new talent on all the continents where we are present.”

Jean Mane, President of MANE


The theme of this competition sponsored by MANE is “capturing the emotions generated by the senses of smell and taste” through three categories corresponding to dimensions that are important to MANE: fragrances – illustrate the emotions associated with the perfumes and scents that surround us in our everyday life; flavours – capture the sensations generated by taste, the richness and diversity of flavours; and nature – express the olfactory and gustatory senses in relation to flora, earth and nature. Photographers who are recent graduates of an art or photography school are invited to enter the contest between 12 January and 8 March 2024.


Contestants must be 18 years of age or older and have graduated from an art or photography school within the last five years.

To enter, they must complete the competition entry form and send a series of at least three photographs per category, to be received no later than 23h59 (11:59 p.m.) CET on 8 March 2024, via the website www.capturewhatmoves.com.

Photographers are welcome to compete in one or more categories, without size/format restrictions, and to present their interpretation of the impact that flavours, fragrances and nature have on the senses and emotions. Only original works will be accepted: works produced for other clients or previous orders will not be considered and the use of artificial intelligence is prohibited.
The jury will deliberate the week of 25 March and the results are scheduled to be announced on 8 April 2024. Contestants will be informed of the results by email.


The winner of each category will receive a €2,000 prize and the grand-prize winner will be commissioned with the photo shoot of the MANE Group’s next corporate campaign. In addition to this award, one or more of the best photo series selected by the jury will be published on the dedicated competition website and Instagram.
