The best of the best photokina presents the best pictures from famous photographic competitions
At each photokina they are inspiration and motivation in equal measure: the photo exhibitions with the best pictures from famous photographic competitions. Once again this year the worlds leading trade fair for imaging will be presenting the best photos from numerous tenders for (budding) pros and amateur photographers. You will find below an overview of the photographic exhibitions at photokina 2014.
Canon professional photographic promotion prize
The Canon professional photographic promotion prize is targeted at up and coming professionals. For the past eight years it has offered young photographers the opportunity of support in turning their mental images into reality. The Canon professional photographic promotion prize promotes the realisation, development or completion of photographic projects such as degree dissertations or term work. The prize was first hatched at photokina 2006 with submissions being invited twice a year by Canon CPS and ProfiFoto magazine in collaboration with picture agency Laif and the online art market Whitewall. This year alone, well in excess of 200 participants have applied for the funding, worth a total of 20,000 Euro, with photographic projects. The 20 winning projects of the four most recent competition tenders of 2013 and 2014 are to be seen in Cologne. Location: passage 4/5
UNICEF-Photo of the Year
Each year UNICEF Germany and GEO Magazine bestow the UNICEF Photo of the Year Award on photos and photo series that best depict the personality and living conditions of children worldwide in an outstanding manner. Under the title Children. The Presence of the Future, visitors to photokina 2014 have an opportunity to see the best images and reportage from the international competition UNICEF Photo of the Year 2012 and 2013. 25 photographers from 16 countries contributed to the exhibition with excellent photo series and photographs. Location: passage 3/4
Best of CGI Award Gallery
Computer Generated Imaging, CGI for short, is where reality and virtual worlds merge. Trade fair visitors can see the outstanding images that are created by this merger at the Best of CGI Awards. photokina uses the competition forum to address creative designers and aspiring young talents to find the best CGI renderings in the industry. The top 15 nominated renderings in the two categories Young Talents and Professionals can be admired in the Best of CGI Award Gallery. The exhibition provides an overview of the many and varied facets of new image worlds. Location: Hall 5.1, Stand B 029
Hamdan International Photography Award
The Hamdan International Photography Awards (HIPA) aims to foster awareness of and interest in photography both nationally and internationally. The competition was instigated in 2011 by his Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and with its prize money of more than 300,000 US dollars is among the most generously endowed photographic competitions in the world. This years theme was called Life in Colour. Location: Hall 6, A-008
Blende 2014
Most of the interest in the German newspaper photography competition is generated at photokina. The annual event, which is jointly organised by several daily newspapers and Prophoto GmbH, is Europes largest photography competition. For almost 40 years, Blende demonstrates with its pictures the pure passion and devotion force of the participating amateur photographers. Also in 2014 its recordings strongly enrich photokina and all of them deserve with no ifs and buts the respectful predicate bestaunenswert (marvellous). Good, indeed lovely photographs of two years of Blende await photokina visitors on the Central Boulevard of the Cologne exhibition complex. Location: Central Boulevard
That good photography has nothing to do with the photographers age is also demonstrated by photokina competitions aimed specifically at young and adolescent photographers. The winning photos of the German Youth Photography Award or the German Youth Photographic Championship bear impressive testimony to this.
German Youth Photography Award 2014
The winning photographs of this years German Youth Photography Award in Hall 9 boast moving photo series, enthralling portraits and imaginative experiments. The award is among Germanys most richly traditional youth competitions and is organised by the German Centre for Youth and Childrens Films on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. More than 5,000 talented young photographers submitted upward of 21,000 pictures this year. The submissions spectrum ranges from the perfect single shot to the unusually designed photo album, from the large format photogram to the digital collage. The youngsters use their images to document their own everyday lives while also portraying the reality of life in other countries. Prizes worth a combined value of 15,000 Euro await the 50 winners aged between eight and 25. The prizes will be awarded on 21 September at the trade fair. The competition is organised by the Centre for Youth and Childrens Films in Germany (KFJ) on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. Location: Hall 9 Stand A-041
