Winner 2009

Mikhael Subotzky, Winner 2009

The renowned photographic competition, the Leica Oskar Barnack Award will be announced for the 31st time in the year 2010. Entries for the Leica Oskar Barnack Award/Newcomers Award 2010 will be accepted as online submissions between 15 January and 15 March 2010.

A Newcomers Award will be incorporated in the competition for the second time. The competition for this award is open to all (prospective) photographers who are aged 25 years and under.

An international jury awards the Leica Oskar Barnack Award / Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award to photographers whose unerring powers of observation capture and express the relationship between man and the environment in the most graphic form in a sequence of a minimum of 10 up to a maximum of 12 images. Entry submissions must be a self-contained series of images in which the photographer perceives and documents the interaction between man and the environment with acute vision and contemporary visual style – creative, groundbreaking and unintrusive.

The winner of the Leica Oskar Barnack Award will receive 5,000 euros or, alternatively, Leica camera equipment to the same value. The winner of the Newcomer Award will be awarded 2,500 euros. The prizes will be presented in the course of the Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie photographic festival held in Arles, France.

All photo series submitted will be displayed in a special online gallery in the "Contest" section.
