Zeiss Photography Award Opens For Entries
10 October 2017
The third edition of the Zeiss Photography Award has opened for entries today. Photographers from around the world are invited to submit their best series of work before the competition closes on Feb. 6, 2018.
Kevin Faingnaert. Winner of the 2017 Zeiss Photography Award.
The theme of this year's contest is "Seeing Beyond -- Untold Stories." It requires photographers to present a series of five to ten images that look beyond the ordinary and every day.
"Untold Stories" is intended to be understood in its broadest sense, organizers said. "The work could explore a familiar theme told from a different perspective or it could address an issue that has previously had little attention."
All forms of photography are welcome and judges are specifically looking for series of works that have a strong narrative. The "Untold Story" that the photographer presents must be visually clear in the submitted images.
Entries will be reviewed by a leading panel of photography experts: Chris Hudson (Art Director, National Geographic Traveller, UK), Patricia Morvan (Cultural Projects and Exhibition, Agence VU, France) and Peter Bas Mensink (Publisher, GUP Magazine, Netherlands).
Winners will be announced on April 3, 2018. Prizes include up to €12,000 worth of Zeiss lenses and more.

Zeiss Photography Award Launches Its Third Edition
Judges search for a series of images that capture an untold story; Closing date: Feb. 6, 2018
The third edition of the Zeiss Photography Award opens for entries today. Launching with a new brief of "Seeing Beyond -- Untold Stories," photographers from around the world are invited to submit their best series of work at http://www.worldphoto.org/zeiss, before the competition closes on Feb. 6, 2018.
Entries will be reviewed by a leading panel of photography experts: Chris Hudson (Art Director, National Geographic Traveller, UK), Patricia Morvan (Cultural Projects and Exhibition, Agence VU, France) and Peter Bas Mensink (Publisher, GUP Magazine, Netherlands). See notes to editors for judges' biographies.
Each brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the competition. Chris Hudson offers the following advice to entrants: "I'll be looking for photographs that tell a real story, that makes the viewer stop and question what's going on in the frame and allow them to piece together a story in their minds based on what they can see."
One winner and a shortlist of up to ten talented photographers will be announced on April 3, 2018. The winner will receive:
- €12,000 worth of Zeiss lenses
- €3,000 travel expenses to complete a photography project of their choice in the location of their choice.
- A day at the Zeiss Headquarters in Germany including comprehensive lens training and a tour including the Zeiss museum
- Exposure across both World Photography Organisation and Zeiss platforms
- The winner will be flown to London to attend an award ceremony on April 19, 2018
- Winning images, as well as selected shortlisted photographers, will be shown alongside the Sony World Photography Awards Exhibition at Somerset House in London, from April 20 to May 6, 2018. The winner is invited to attend the opening of the exhibition.
Launched in 2016 by the World Photography Organisation and Zeiss, the Zeiss Photography Award asks photographers to respond to a set brief in creative and unique ways and is designed to challenge the creative boundaries of those entering,
The 2018 brief, "Seeing Beyond -- Untold Stories," requires photographers to present a strong series of five to ten images that look beyond the ordinary and every day. "Untold Stories" is intended to be understood in its broadest sense -- the work could explore a familiar theme told from a different perspective or it could address an issue that has previously had little attention. All forms of photography are welcome and judges are specifically looking for series of works that have a strong narrative. The "Untold Story" that the photographer presents must be visually clear in the submitted images.
The Zeiss Photography Award attracted more than 30,000 images from photographers from 132 countries.
