Seltmann photo price : Best of at the UPdate

The Seltmann printers not only produce extravagant books and classy catalogues, but have also created an advertising photo prize, which took place for the third time in 2007. The Best_of motifs were presented at the UPdate. The UPdate also provided the opportunity to have a look at the latest publications, high grade mailings and catalogues, such as the UPdate catalogue which they also produced.

The aim of the competition is to find innovative, creative, bold and hand made amazing advertising photos, then award them and publish them. Work which provides the industry with new impulses. Professional advertising photographers, up and coming photographers (up to 30 years of age) and students may enter. Basically, anyone that is an advertising photographer or wants to become one.

In total this year, 160 photographers from 7 European countries entered 714 photographs. A picture series shot by photographer Monica Menez c/o Marion ENSTE-JASPERS was distinguished in the People/Emotion Category. Sebastian van den Akker was awarded the Still Life Category. Zurich photo designer Gabi Vogt won the Product in Use Category. The distinguished image was shot during a stay as an *Artist in Residence* in Romania. American photographer Joel Micah Miller shot the image which triumphed the Newcomer Category.

The motifs stayed put in Berlin and can be viewed from the 14. April as an exhibition at the C/O Gallery in Berlin.
