ECB Annual Photography Award

ARCHIVED : ECB Annual Photography Award 2008, 2009

I received an email with more information about the ECB award from Prof. Claudio Hills :

"The ECB currently awards €10,000 for first prize, €6,000 for second prize, and €4,000 for third prize. The seven remaining finalists to have taken part in the exhibition, catalogue and internet site will also receive a lump sum of €1,000.

The catalogue is distributed by 2 partners: schaden.com, Germany and Fotohof Edition, Austria

The next exhibition and price ceremony takes place in Frankfurt at the ECB on the 24th of November.

About the ECB Award of next year still a decision has to be made by the ECB."

More information and an updated catalogue (PDF) with the photos are available on the website
.

The European Central Bank (ECB) invited photographers to present their vision of Europe today and asked 27 country curators to each nominate three photographic works dealing with that subject. The submitted photographs were assessed by an international jury of experts.

We are confident that the photographs will help to further understanding of contemporary Europe and -by adding fresh perspectives- raise awareness of the richness and diversity of Europe's countries and peoples.
