The IMS Photo Contest 2015

The motto of 2015 is “Mountain.Faces”

Mountains all over the world are telling stories about climbers, conquering steep walls, alpinists undergoing harsh conditions, mountain people living between brusque rock formations, fighting on daily base against mother nature’s forces and animals adopting to almost unreal situations. Not only faces of mountaineers, climbers and mountain people, affected by pain and exhaustion for the “summit victory”, tell stories about mountains, but also tears of joy when reaching the top.

The IMS Photo Contest 2015 with the motto “Mountain.Faces” aims to get pictures, representing individual perspectives of the mountain, with all its facets and his conquerors and inhabitants. Show us with your picture, the mountain faces, no matter if they are made of rocks, made of flesh and blood or of fur. At the end all what counts is the uniqueness of the moment, captured for the eternity.

Show us through your camera lens the fascination and beauty of nature and win the KIKU Photo Award (up to 6.600 €) or the DJI Aerial Photo Award (Phantom 3 Advanced).

Fried Photo Awards 2015 Call for entries

Peace and photography enjoy a special relationship. The work of photojournalists has always helped make people aware of the need for and rewards of a life of peace. Regrettably they usually achieved this with pictures of the opposite – war and hunger. The organizers of the Alfred Fried Photography Award 2015 call on the photographic community to focus on peace in the world and to communicate this strongly in the media and to the public at large.

From eye-catching advertising hoardings, to sumptuous editorial features, from tempting food packaging to daily blogs. The Food Photography Awards celebrate this magnificent diversity in what is truly, the stuff of life. 

The Food Photography Awards seek to single out not only technical skill, but originality of treatment and a real sense of connection with the subject matter whatever it may be. Whether simply an apple on a plate, a cake of spun sugar, a baker covered in flour at four in the morning, or a pot simmering on an open fire in the African bush. 

We are looking for professional and amateur photographers alike, in our search for the very best depictions of this marvellously varied subject of food, which unites us all. Details here
