Application Deadline: 21st of November 2025
LOCATION: Multiple Regions
Basketball isn’t just about the final score; it’s about the moments in between.
The high-fives after a good play, the pep talks in the huddle, the shared laughs on the bench, the hand that pulls you up when you’re down, and the unbreakable bonds that form on and off the court.
The FIBA Photo Contest 2025 celebrates what makes a team more than just a group of players: it celebrates the Dream Team.
Whether it’s your childhood crew at the local court, a tight-knit school team, or your weekend warriors who’ve become family, we want to see the heart that beats behind the hustle.
Capture the spirit of teamwork, the strength of friendship, and the warmth of a family that plays together.
Show us what your Dream Team looks like.
