Welcome to a special edition of the Forza Horizon 5 Photography Competition! Open to all players.
Special Holiday/Winter theme through December!
Series 54 has just begun in the FH5 Festival Playlist, bringing back the Horizon Holidays festival makeover. To celebrate the end of the year, we’re looking for photos highlighting Holiday and Winter themes - maybe that’s a photo of the decorations at the Horizon Wonderland in Mulegé, the stadium Ice Rink, festive driver outfits, or cars plowing through the snow - take a look at last year’s event for inspiration!
Everyone who posts a submission in this topic will be eligible to claim a reward car and vanity item of your choice (see prize rules below). While this event period will run through 2026-01-02T04:00:00Z we’ll be sending those rewards throughout December and featuring our favorites in game weekly.
Also this month we’ll be publishing our Year in Review blog and highlighting our favorite community photos from 2025. We’ll be back to our regular schedule in January - until then, we hope you enjoy the holidays! Thank you for making this a great year in Forza Horizon 5!
