The Burundi Tourism Week Photo Competition was created to provide storytellers, whether local or international photographers, the opportunity to showcase Burundi’s magnificent tourist attractions, breathtaking landscapes and rich culture through photography.
This is a unique opportunity for talented photographers to raise awareness about the Burundi destination using different social media platforms.
Local photographers and creative houses are invited to register on the Burundi Tourism Week online platforms, capturing images of nature, travel, tourist attractions, wildlife, heritage and culture, highlighting the wonders of Burundi. This competition is a driving force to encourage the public to discover Burundi.

2024 Edition
Theme: Burundi through the lens of the traveler
This year, the competition will also include promotional reels (short videos often posted on Instagram). The addition of this category aims to follow current social media trends, where videos allow for a more immersive and lively experience than simple photos.
Participants in the photo competition will be invited to take part in this event where the winners will be rewarded during the closing gala dinner.
