The Club 4000, through its board, expresses its heartfelt condolences to the family of Francesco Bianco (Franco), visionary, co-founder, and driving force behind our Club.

In his simplicity, Franco never wished to complete the ascent of all the 4000-meter peaks, as for him, leaving something unfinished helped to keep dreams alive.

After last year's success we decided to replicate the photo contest, obviously free and open to all!

The rules are simple: we ask you to send only ONE picture by email to the address concorso@club4000.club accompanied by your surname/name, title of the photo and the 4000 it refers to. The subject must be panoramas or details of the mountains that are part of the 4000 official Alps, no selfies or people group photos.

The selection will start from September and you will be able to vote for the most beautiful photos by putting a 'like'.

At the end of the competition, the first 3 classified will be awarded as follows:
1st place: Club 4000 2025 calendar
2nd place: Club 4000 bandana
3rd place: Club 4000 cloth patch

The winners will be invited to the Club 4000 assembly to be held in Turin on 23rd November 2024.

You have until August 31st to submit your photo!

However, the contest will close when the maximum number of 60 pictures is reached.

The selection will start on 10/09/24 and the publications will be made every Tuesday and you can vote until Friday at 13:00. At this point in the day, the list of photos that have passed the selection round will be published.
In the first 3 weeks, 20 photos will be published per week and the top 10 of each will be selected.
In the following 3 weeks, 10 photographs will be published for each week and 4 will be selected.
The 12 photographs remaining in the competition will be published in groups of 6 over the next 2 weeks and 3 of these will be selected per week.
