Vote Now: Help Choose the First Category Winner of the Mammut Photo Contest

The community has spoken — and we’re proud to present the five official finalists of the Mammut Photo Contest’s Instagram “Check-In Early” Category. These early-riser moments stood out for their light, timing, composition, and story — a tribute to adventure that begins before most alarms go off.

Now it’s up to you to decide the category winner.

You can vote for your favorite, but choose wisely, because you only have one vote. The photo with the most votes will win the category, earning a Mammut deluxe summer kit, a guided mountain experience with ZERMATTERS, including their brand Mammut Mountain School and 2 nights’ accommodation in Zermatt, Switzerland, storage solutions from Angelbird, and an All in One annual subscription to Capture One Photo Software.

Plus, the winner moves one step closer to the grand prize of the Mammut Photo Contest: a photo experience with Chris Burkard in Switzerland including SWISS airline tickets, seven-day Swiss Travel passes and a premium segment SL2-S Kit with Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70 from the German camera manufacturer Leica.

Make your pick and help crown the first category winner of the Mammut Photo Contest.

One vote. One winner.
