Welcome to the exciting figure photo competition at Aninite 2025!
The motto of this year’s competition is:
“The Good Samaritan” – helpfulness, compassion and civil courage. The good Samaritan is a symbol of helping others in difficult situations without asking for personal gain. A good Samaritan is someone who does not look away, but actively helps – regardless of who needs help. It is about genuine charity that knows no boundaries and is open to everyone, regardless of their background, appearance or beliefs
We are looking for creative representations of this theme for our figure photo competition:
Use your figures to show how important it is to be there for each other and do good together. Let your imagination run wild and showcase the motto in your very own way!
Whether big heroic deeds or small gestures of kindness – we look forward to your unique ideas that show how compassion and helpfulness can make our world a better place.
Let’s set an example and inspire together: Anyone can be a good Samaritan! Have fun and good luck with the competition!
