Global Physics Photowalk 2025

2025 Photowalk First Place winner - Marco Donghia, INFN National Laboratories of Frascati

While it may look different to different people, the quest of particle physics is global and unites us all

2018 Photowalk 2nd place winner – Stefano Ruzzini, Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, Italy

What is the Global Photowalk?

This summer, major particle physics laboratories worldwide will open their doors to photographers. With exclusive access, participating photographers will capture images of particle physics and its behind-the-scenes processes, sharing them with the world.

The photos are submitted to local Photowalk competitions and judged by a panel. Winners from these local contests advance to the national Photowalk competition, where the final winners are chosen.
