Hahnemühle : Anniversary Photo Award - shows in London, Paris, New York and at Cologne's Photokina convention

Hahnemühle presents the Anniversary Photo Award to mark their 425th anniversary. The motto is “For Originals”. Amateur and professional photographers were invited to capture their very own personal, original perspective of people, things and moods in a photograph.

Just under 1,800 participants from 45 countries submitted over 7,100 images. An international panel of judges selected 43 pieces for the Hahnemühle Anniversary Collection.

“The impressive pictures represent a cross section of the subjects of photography,” says Hahnemühle’s Managing Director, Jörg Adomat. “From portraits and landscape to architecture and still life. We are confident the exhibition will be truly special. For every single subject we selected a FineArt paper particularly suitable regarding its degree of whiteness and structure to optimally support the message of the respective picture.”

The winning images will be exhibited on a tour with stops in London, Paris and New York. The show will kick off in Sydney on 10 February 2010, followed by Beijing, Berlin and Hong Kong. A stop at the Photokina convention in Cologne will also provide an added highlight: where the Hahnemühle Anniversary Photo Award pieces will be on show from 21 until 26 September 2010.

Sadly, we are only permitted to unveil three of the pieces, further information on the winners and their pictures, as well as the globe trotting exhibition can all be found on the Hahnemühle website in the ‘Creative & Informative’ section.
