June 12 to September 14, 2025 - Bois de l’Étang
Around the world, sports photos are among the most widely distributed. Yet, the most beautiful ones remain unknown
to the general public, particularly victims of an overly ephemeral news cycle.
The international sports photography festival was created to highlight the masterpieces of the genre.
This festival is the first tool for recognizing the work of sports reporters, who have long been overlooked.
An international competition, exhibitions, and an evening of sharing with the public in the presence of a prestigious patron make up the program for the 2025 festival.
The very many visitors who toured the exhibition last year will find in Gruissan a selection of the best sports images taken by professional photographers from many countries who participated in the 2024 international competition.
The Olympic Games: Superstars and more…
Gruissan once again becomes the global showcase for sports imagery and will naturally give pride of place to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, an exceptional event, the source of many breathtaking images.
But across the 4 categories presented,
it is the world of sport as a whole that is highlighted through the keen eye of the greatest professional photographers.
Gruissan Sport Photo
I am convinced that this festival will attract a public as varied as it is numerous, to the point of becoming the essential platform for professionals and amateurs of sports imagery…

An Irreplaceable Experience
Particularly attentive to giving the exhibited images all the attention they deserve, the organizers have developed an “outdoor gallery” concept, which allows the public to contemplate the works in peace, even in the heart of the city.
