Felix Schoeller Photo Award: The submission period begins on 1 January 2021
Next year's Felix Schoeller Photo Award will focus on two categories: the German Peace Prize for Photography and the category 'Best Work by an Emerging Photographer.' The deadline for submissions is 31.05.2021.
For committed professionals: the German Peace Prize for Photography
The Felix Schoeller Group will continue to underline its commitment to peace in the coming year. "Peace is more important than ever, even in today's times, which are strongly influenced by the Corona pandemic. We see it as our duty to continue supporting this quest for peace," says Hans-Christoph Gallenkamp, CEO of the Felix Schoeller Group.
The German Peace Prize for Photography, a cooperation with the city of peace Osnabrück, is open to all professional photographers and comes with prize money of 10,000 euros. Dr. Friederike Texter, who is responsible for communication on the Felix Schoeller Photo Award, explains: "The prize is awarded to works that use the medium of photography to address the topic of 'peace' conceptually. The concept of peace is defined very broadly. It can be peace between peoples, peaceful coexistence in a country or family, or even inner peace.
Emerging Photographer Award with new partnership and qualified support by the jurors
Since the Felix Schoeller Photo Award was launched in 2013, it has focused on promoting young photographers. Texter comments: "Young talent remains close to our hearts. As the German Peace Prize for Photography is not open to young photographers, the category "'Best Work by an Emerging Photographer'" will also be announced in 2021". This category's winner will be honored with the Felix Schoeller Emerging Photographer Award 2021, which is endowed with prize money of €2,500. All nominees in this category will also receive an exclusive online session with a jury member to discuss their work (portfolio presentation).
The Emerging Photographer Award will be supported by CAPTURE X next year. CAPTURE X offers both professionals and amateur photographers the opportunity for an intensive exchange with experts and within the community in addition to high-quality fine art papers. On the one hand, the consultation should enable the best printing results. On the other hand, the exchange results in terms of content flow into product enhancements, for example. The current CAPTURE X product range consists of cotton papers, matt artist papers, and genuine photo papers.
