Respect these rules you must.

  • Your picture should contain a bicycle and it should be taken along either EuroVelo 15 or EuroVelo 19 (ideally within a 5km radius).
  • The contest will take place between July 10 (12am CEST) and August 25 (5pm CEST). Submissions outside this period will not be considered.
  • Submit your entry via the widget on www.eurovelo.com/contest (the link will only be valid for the duration of the contest).
  • Mention @ecfeurovelo together with BOTH of these hashtags: #EuroVelo #MoreCyclingTourism in your post on Instagram
  • Mention #EuroVelo15Contest or #EuroVelo19Contest depending on which route you took the picture on and mention the location in the description of your post on Instagram
  • Only one entry per person is allowed, either on EuroVelo 15 or on EuroVelo 19. If you share multiple photos, only the first one will be accepted.

If your photo respects the rules of the contest, we will share it on the EuroVelo Instagram account, tagging you back. The photos with the highest number of likes on 25 August at 5pm CEST will be the winner for each route. The skilled photographers will have a year to benefit from a €1,500 worth cycling trip on the route they did not cycle to discover new horizons!

Here are the winning pictures of last year to inspire and challenge you!
