Deadline for submission to the German Peace Prize for Photography: 31 May 2019!
No extension of the submission deadline to be expected
For the first time this year, the "German Peace Prize for Photography" will be disclosed as a special category of the Felix Schoeller Photo Award. Submissions are welcome until 31 May! The German Peace Prize for Photography honors works that deal with the topic of peace in all its facets. In return, the concept of peace is very broadly defined: It can be peace between peoples, as well as peaceful coexistence in a country, in the family or inner peace. It is important to give peace a face.
Who will be the next winners? The 2017 edtion's winners were (left to right): Mario Brand, Saskia Boelsums, Matt Hulse, Alain Schroeder, Hosam Katan, Guilherme Bergamini, Rodrigo Illescas
