The Felix Schoeller Photo Award 2015 has set greater focus on attracting even more international participation. With success, as the recent feedback and entries prove. We have also received numerous works from Asia. Among others, the China Folklore Photographic Association (CFPA) encouraged its members to take part in this year’s Felix Schoeller Photo Award. We would like to thank the CFPA for the enthusiasm and support regarding our international Award for professional photographers. In return, we would like to recommend the Humanity Photo Awards (HPA).
