Clubbing TV has officially launched the Rave Photography of the Year 2025 competition, an international initiative aimed at celebrating the world of electronic music culture and nightlife through photography. The contest invites photographers from across the globe to submit their best images capturing the energy and atmosphere of rave and electronic music events.

The competition features multiple categories including raver portraits, backstage moments, crowd shots, light effects, love moments and club interior shots, all reflecting the diversity and dynamic nature of electronic music events.
Photographers are encouraged to submit their photos in one or more of the available categories. Once submissions are validated, an online gallery will be created where the public can vote for their favourite images for 30 days, with a leaderboard revealed after 15 days.
