TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
PARTICIPATION
1. General
These Terms and Conditions
of Participation govern the participation in the photo competition organised by
Leica Camera AG for the awarding of the "Leica Oskar Barnack Award"
and the "Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award", which are going to be
awarded to professional photographers by an international jury. The photography
competition will be won by the photographers whose keen sense of observation
best demonstrate the relationship between man and the environment, with a
series of minimum 10 and maximum 12 photographs. Photographers are asked to
submit a self-contained series of images that document the interaction between
man and the environment with acute vision and contemporary visual style –
creatively and innovatively.
Just as in previous years,
the "Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award" is addressed to all future
professional photographers who are not older than 25 years.
As last year,
www.i-shot-it.com will award a third category in partnership with Leica Camera
AG, namely the "Leica Oskar Barnack Public Award" (optional
participation). The award winner will be determined via online-voting on the
platform for photo competitions according to the terms and conditions of
www.i-shot-it.com. The winner in this category will receive a cash prize of EUR
2,500 from www.i-shot-it.com.
2. Application
Photographers can apply
for participation by uploading the photo series here with acknowledgement of
these Terms and Conditions of Participation. All digital photos prepared for
upload must have an image height of 1200 pixels. The image width is variable.
Furthermore, the photos need to be stored at 72 dpi as a jpg-file in the RGB
colour space for view in the web and must not exceed a file volume of maximum 3
MB each. It is recommended storing the photos with the WEB optimization
function, as for example possible in Adobe Photoshop. For precise information go here.
The competition is not
limited to photos taken with Leica cameras. The camera system used is not a
criterion.
Only one submission per
participant is permitted.
3. Award
The winner of the
"Leica Oskar Barnack Award" will receive a cash prize of EUR 25,000
as well as a Leica M camera and lens worth approx. EUR 10,000. The winner of
the "Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award" will receive a cash prize of
