Photo Finish Submission Information

The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame is now accepting submissions for the 2025 Photo Finish. Professional as well as amateur photographers are encouraged to submit up to two entries. Each submission must relate to the sport of thoroughbred racing in America, including, but not limited to, racing and training scenes, the backstretch, life on the farm, and the emotions of the fans. We encourage creative and unique perspectives. A panel of judges representing the racing and arts communities will select the photographs for exhibition at the Museum, which will open in the von Stade Gallery in November. Additional entries may be considered for inclusion in the online exhibition at the jurors' discretion.  

Please complete the digital form and submit your digital photograph with your name to photofinish@racingmuseum.net. Forms will also be available at the Museum’s Visitor Services desk or may be download here.  

Deadline for submissions is June 30, 2025. 

Photographers will be notified by August 4, 2025. 

Photographs selected for exhibition must be received no later than October 10, 2025. 

The exhibition will be on view November 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025
