IFA Picture of the Year 2025: Public Voting has started

published: January 26, 2026

Spectacular rallies, dynamic attacking shots, fearless defensive dives, pinpoint passes and intense emotions – the fistball year 2025 once again delivered countless memorable moments. Thanks to the commitment and keen eye of numerous photographers, many of these scenes were captured and preserved in impressive images.

As part of the IFA Awards 2025, the search for the IFA Picture of the Year is now entering its decisive phase. A total of 10 outstanding photographs have been shortlisted and are now up for public voting. Fans and followers of the sport are invited to cast their vote and help determine which image best represents the fascination of fistball in 2025.

The public vote accounts for 60 percent of the final result, with the remaining 40 percent decided by an expert jury. Voting is open until 28 January, 11:00 PM CET. Each participant may vote once per email address. After submitting a vote, a one-time confirmation email will be sent; the email address will be deleted after the voting process is completed.

The winning picture will be officially announced during the IFA Awards 2025, where the most outstanding achievements and moments of the past fistball year will be honored.

Which picture will follow the winning picture from 2024 by photographer Moritz Kaufmann (Germany)?
