Coaster101 Photo Contest 2025: Vote
It’s time to cast your votes in the 2025 Coaster101 Photo Contest! We received incredible photos this year from parks across the globe, and we’re leaning on you to help us pick the readers’ choice for each category.
Update: Voting has ended. See the winners of our 2025 photo contest here!
How to Vote
Each category will have dedicated photo albums on our Facebook page with all of that category’s entries (those galleries are also embedded below). Click the photo in the gallery below to be redirected to Facebook where you can vote. Each Facebook “like” that a photo receives will count as one vote. You must have a Facebook account to vote on Facebook. You may vote once per category. The voting period will run through Monday, September 22, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. CT.
Winning Photos
Two winners will be named for each of the three categories: one determined by readers’ votes and the other selected by the Coaster101 team. Each category will also have two honorable mentions: one determined by readers and the other determined by the Coaster101 team.
Winning photos will be featured on Coaster101.com and our social media pages. Winners will receive a Coaster101 shirt from our online store and a print of their winning photo!
Happy voting!
Steel Coaster Category
Photos in this category should contain at least one steel coaster. They must not be noticeably altered. Minor retouching is acceptable, as are black-and-white photos. If a photo contains a steel and wooden coaster, the steel coaster must be the focal point.
See the steel coaster category photos in the gallery below. View the album on our Facebook page.
Wooden Coaster Category
Photos should contain at least one wooden coaster. They must not be noticeably altered. Minor retouching is acceptable, as are black-and-white photos. If a photo contains a steel and wooden coaster, the wooden coaster must be the focal point.

Coasterless Category
These “coasterless” photos must be taken at an amusement or theme park, but the photos themselves cannot have a roller coaster in the frame. The focus should be on something else: a flat ride, food, a show, etc. — be as creative as you’d like.

Remember to cast your votes by Monday, September 22, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. CT!
Best of luck to all of this year’s photographers!
