The competition consists of two rounds. In the first round, the jury selects 50 finalists from all the online entries. In the second and final round, the 50 finalists will submit their photo series printed on Hahnemühle paper. Hahnemühle will provide the finalists with the paper of their choice. To judge the competition, Hahnemühle has put together an internationally renowned jury international experts from the photography industry. The jury assesses not only the creativity of the series, but also looks at photographic quality and how suitable the choice of paper is for the subject matter.
The winners will receive attractive cash prizes: the top three finalists will receive cash prizes of EUR 1,500 for first place, EUR 1,000 for second place and EUR 500 for third place. The winning photo series will be displayed at the Hahnemühle stand at Photokina 2020 (including PR support).
