Photographs from two years of Blende
Europes largest photo competition Blende receives more than 80,000 image submissions annually. The steadily growing popularity is proof of its great significance. The pictures entered by the Blende photographers are invaluable records of the period in which they were taken. In addition to this, they motivate other people to pick up a camera themselves and capture moments or situations themselves before they pass. For more than 40 years now, Blende has been demonstrating the pure passion and devotion of the participating amateur photographers with its pictures. Their images will also enrich photokina in 2016.
