Felix Schoeller Photo Award: Phase One comes on board as a partner for the Emerging Photographer award
Osnabrück, 4 February, 2015
Phase One, the Danish manufacturer of high-end, open-platform medium-format cameras, has become an international sponsoring partner for the 2015 Felix Schoeller Photo Award. The winner of the Emerging Photographer category in this award, which aims to attract entries from all over the world, truly has something to look forward to: Phase One is going to give the winner the use of one of its camera systems for a month. The package includes a Phase One camera with three lenses and the latest digital back, as well as the latest version of Capture One Pro - a software package designed for optimised capture and post-production workflow. To enable them to achieve their creative vision in true professional fashion, the winner of the award will be given intensive training on all the equipment, either in one of Phase One’s worldwide branches or with one of their retailers. The winner will then have a month in which to use the equipment to finish a project. The value of the prize is based on the official cost of renting the package, which is currently €600 a day. That makes the company’s contribution worth around €18,000.
Dr Friederike Texter, Senior Vice President Corporate Communication with the Osnabrück-based Felix Schoeller Group is delighted about Phase One’s involvement: “We are thrilled about the partnership. The value of the prize Phase One is offering is cause for great excitement, which I am sure our young photographers share. We are anticipating that this prize will be an incentive that could take the quality of the entries to an even higher level.” Heinz Papst, of Phase One Deutschland, stresses the strategic aspect of the collaboration: “We believe that the Felix Schoeller Photo Award got off to a highly professional start. And the fact that it is committed to uncompromising photographic quality is reflected in the high-calibre make up of its jury. It is this aspect in particular that gels with our endeavours to produce perfect technology for professional photographers. We are convinced that this collaboration is a perfect fit, which is why we are happy to be on board.”
