Choose your favourite in the photo contest in honer of Peter van Egmond
Published on 30 December 2025 by Niels Hendrix
Formule 1 Magazine, in collaboration with the FIA, has launched a competition for all Formula 1 photographers: Peter's F1 Racing Photo Contest. It's a tribute to Peter van Egmond, who passed away earlier this year at the age of 68.
An international jury selected a top 10 of photos from the submissions, which were nominated for the People's Choice Award, and the winner will receive a €2,500 voucher. A professional camera will also be raffled among the participants in the public vote.

To perpetuate Peter’s name and photographic legacy, his family, in consultation with Formule 1 Magazine, for which Van Egmond worked as a staff photographer, decided to organize the Peter's F1 Racing Photo Contest. This initiative was immediately supported by the FIA, and the title was approved by FOM.
This photo contest is not only a tribute to Peter van Egmond, but to all his hundreds of colleagues who each year capture the action, speed, beauty, joy, and drama of Formula 1 for the general public on all news platforms worldwide. Through Peter's F1 Racing Photo Contest, this photography will receive the attention it deserves.
A prize pool of more than €7,500 has been compiled. The winner will receive a cash prize of €2,500, the runner-up €1,250, and third place €750. In addition to the selection of three prize winners by the professional jury, the general public will also vote for their favourite Formula 1 photo from the 2025 season. The jury awards for numbers 1, 2, and 3, as well as the People's Choice Award, will be announced in January 2026.
“It's important that we continue to honour our heroes and keep their memory alive”, says Kees van de Grint. “Peter was a true professional, loved by his colleagues and everyone in the paddock- but above all, he was a good person. This photo competition is a fitting tribute to him for which we thank the FIA for it's great support.”
