The Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) has launched a photography contest titled \u201cTembea Kenya, Capture Magical Kenya. \u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

The contest is\u00a0designed to showcase Kenya\u2019s diverse travel destinations, with a special focus on hidden gems.<\/p>\n

The contest will run on social media platforms, inviting Kenyans to capture various destinations, specify their location, and tag KTB on its official handles on X, Facebook, or Instagram.<\/p>\n

KTB CEO, June Chepkemei, stated that the contest aims to involve the public in promoting overlooked tourism sites within their home counties, many of which boast significant tourism potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the county level, Kenyans have invested in tourism through accommodation and hospitality services around nontraditional tourism sites, opening up both urban and remote areas to tourism activities,\u201d Chepkemei said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, most Kenyans remain unaware of these attractions. Through this contest, we hope to leverage the power of photography to bring these hidden gems to light.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to spotlighting new destinations, the contest also seeks to promote traditional tourism sites that are often perceived as catering primarily to international visitors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognize the critical role of domestic tourism in positioning Kenya as a global destination and sustaining the hospitality sector, especially during low seasons when international arrivals dip. This contest will help uncover more diverse experiences for local tourists,\u201d Chepkemei added.<\/p>\n

The photography contest will run from November 5 to December 11.<\/p>\n

Participants are encouraged to showcase Kenya\u2019s tourism assets across a range of themes, including Wildlife, Culture, Adventure, City Life, Landscapes, Conservation, and Sustainability.<\/p>\n

The contest will culminate in a photo exhibition, with submissions divided into eight categories: Hidden Gems of Kenya, Kenyan Wildlife Wonder, Rich Cultural Heritage & Traditions, Breathtaking Landscapes, 50 Million Smiles \u2013 Kenyan People and Faces, Adventure in Kenya, Urban Vibes: Kenya\u2019s Vibrant Cities, and Sustainable Travel \u2013 Community & Conservation Efforts.<\/p>\n

Winners in each of the eight categories will receive cash prizes, with Ksh. 150,000 awarded for first place, Ksh. 70,000 for second, and Ksh. 30,000 for third.<\/p>\n

These prizes will be presented across all categories, celebrating Kenya\u2019s vibrant tourism potential.<\/p>\n\n
