OBERKOCHEN/Germany, 10.10.2017. The third round of the ZEISS Photography Award is underway and ambitious photographers from all over the world are invited to present their work on the topic of Seeing Beyond Untold Stories to an international expert jury. The photographers have until 6 February 2018 to submit a series of five to ten images
here.
Untold Stories can be understood in all manner of ways, but the end result should be stories that have not yet been told (in full). The works can bring to life familiar tales from a wholly new perspective or be dedicated to topics that have received little attention to date.
A renowned jury
All submissions will be reviewed by a renowned jury comprising three international photography experts: British Art Director Chris Hudson from National Geographic Traveller, Publisher of Dutch photo magazine GUP Magazine Peter Bas Mensink, and Patricia Morvan from French photo agency Agence VU' who is in charge of exhibitions and cultural projects. The submissions will be judged on both their quality and creativity. All forms of photography are welcome and judges are specifically looking for series of works that have a strong narrative.
Attractive prizes: ZEISS lenses to the value of 12,000 and a photo trip
The winner and shortlist will be announced on 3 April 2018. The winner can look forward to fantastic prizes: ZEISS camera lenses of their choosing to the value of 12,000 and 3,000 to put towards a photo trip. An award ceremony will take place on 19 April 2018 in London. The winning photos plus a selection of those shortlisted will be on display at Somerset House in London alongside the Sony World Photography Awards Exhibition; the winner will attend the opening of the exhibition. ZEISS will also invite the winner to the company headquarters in Germany, where they will get a peek behind the scenes of the ZEISS world and the opportunity to get to know its lenses. They will also get the chance to work with ZEISS and the World Photography Organisation.
Due to photo editors having seen my work through the news of winning the ZEISS Photography Award, my personal documentary work has since gone on to be printed in magazines and newspaper around the world, says last year's winner Kevin Faingnaert, who wowed the judges with his photos of life on the Faroe Islands. Winning the award helped secure more clients but, more importantly, my self-confidence as a photographer has certainly grown since the win.
The ZEISS Photography Award is hosted jointly by ZEISS and the World Photography Organisation. Last year, around 4,700 photographers from 132 countries submitted more than 31,000 photos.
