The island of Mljet has once again proven itself a muse for photographers. This year’s Mljet National Park Photo Contest invited shutterbugs to showcase the island’s wild beauty, cultural heritage, and everyday island life — and the response was fantastic.

Running from August 6 to 27, 2025, the competition drew in dozens of stunning shots: from dreamy landscapes and hidden coves to vibrant traditions and snapshots of recreation on Croatia’s greenest island. Each entry brought a new perspective, and the jury had a tough job picking favourites.

“Mljet never fails to inspire — the photos this year stood out for their quality, originality, and that special spark of emotion,” the organisers said.

On September 15, 2025, the expert jury gathered to make the final call, selecting the top entries across three categories. The winning photos capture not just the island’s scenery, but the soul of Mljet itself. See all the winners here
