Prizes worth 3500 Euro for the overall winner of the E1|R1 Photo Award

Europe-wide competition for amateur photographers offers main prize and category prizes 

The E1|R1 Photo Award, organized by Lippe Tourismus & Marketing GmbH (LTM), invites photographers from all over Europe to submit their work until 29 February. The overall winner of the photo competition for hiking and outdoor enthusiasts can look forward to prizes worth 3500 euros. You can send in motifs along the European long-distance hiking trail E1 and the European cycle route R1. The E1 runs from the North Cape to southern Italy. The R1 cycle path from Boulogne Sur Mer via London to St. Petersburg. So far, numerous breathtaking motifs have been received from many European countries - from the icy expanses of Finland and northern lights in Sweden, picturesque architecture in Italy, the German low mountain ranges, or the Dutch North Sea coast. It remains to be seen what spectacular impressions from many corners of the continent will convince the jury of experts.
