Yearbook Photo Challenge
Table of Contents
More Photos. More Students. More Memories.
Great yearbooks tell the whole story of the school year, but getting enough candid photos can be one of the hardest parts of creating your book.
The Yearbook Photo Challenge makes collecting content easier! Each challenge gives your school community a fun photo prompt designed to help you collect moments you might not normally have access to, from first-day memories and favorite traditions to hobbies, talents and adventures outside of school.
How It Works
Throughout the school year, we’ll release 10 Photo Challenges, each featuring a different topic.
For every challenge, you’ll receive:
- A new photo prompt to share with your school community
- A ready-to-send family email to help you request photos
- A photo submission form for easy collection
- A coordinating EDONext template to turn your submissions into yearbook-ready pages. Search Photo Challenge under templates to find them!
Simply share the challenge with your families, collect their photos and add your favorites to your book!

Plan Ahead for Your Pages
Want to complete the entire challenge?
If you use the coordinating 2-page spread for all 10 challenges, plan for 20 pages in your yearbook.
We recommend adding these pages to your ladder early so you have space reserved as you collect photos throughout the year.
Don't have 20 pages to spare? That's okay! You don't have to complete every challenge. Choose the topics that work best for your school, combine challenges onto fewer pages or use individual photos to fill gaps throughout your book.
Why Participate?
The Photo Challenge isn't just about filling pages. It's an easy way to:
- Feature more students throughout your yearbook
- Collect candid photos beyond the school day
- Get families involved in telling your school's story
- Capture hobbies, traditions and personalities you may otherwise miss
- Build a stronger photo library throughout the year
- Make filling those last few empty pages a whole lot easier
Ready for the Challenge?
Start with Challenge 1, share it with your school community and see what memories come in.
You collect the moments. We'll help you turn them into yearbook pages.
