Welcome to the official weekly Forza Horizon 5 Photography Competition! This competition is open to all players.
This week’s deadline is 2026-01-23T04:00:00Z (Thursday night Pacific time).
Judging will be done by Forza staff and winners will be announced Wednesday, January 28.
HOW TO ENTER
Use Photo Mode to save a photo in Forza Horizon 5, Share the photo so it’s visible to all players in game. We will consider all shared game photos via one or both methods:
-
New photos: When saving your photo, enter the current code words in the Description field. This week’s code word for the description is PhoRev197 - note, if you get blocked from sharing with this description, try photocomp197 and we’ll monitor that too.. All photos with this Description will be found in search and considered. Posting in this thread is not required but we encourage you to add your photo to this thread so others can see it!
-
Existing photos: Older or previously entered photos that do not come up in search will not be automatically considered entries; you must post them in this thread. You do not need to update the description in game. Be sure to include your gamertag and the Share Code of the photo (found in the Creative Hub > Photo Gallery or My Creative Hub menu).
Please use one post and include no more than 3 photos.
RULES
You may submit more than one photo per week, with these caveats:
- Winners from Week 196 are not eligible to win this week. You can request to have your entry considered for a future week.
- Only one photo per person will be eligible for selection, determined by the voting team.
- Share Limit: While we appreciate the enthusiasm to participate and the ease in sharing multiple photos, users who create an unreasonable burden on the voting staff by sharing an excessive number of photos in a given week may have all their entries disqualified for the current week and the following week. Please be considerate and conservative in the number of tagged photos you share in game.
- Users may not win more than once in a given week; using alternate gamertags to enter is prohibited and will result in the user being ineligible from participating in official contests.
- All submissions and comments must adhere to the Forza Code of Conduct - Note: We have a stricter standard for appropriateness on content to be featured on Forza channels; we cannot declare winning entries that include alcohol/tobacco brands or names, license plates with lettering that can be perceived as inappropriate, or entries from inappropriate gamertags, regardless of in-game enforcement status.
