<br />
Another upcoming festival, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">4 November - 17 December,</span> celebrating photography and putting a good spotlight on its Prix winner Alexander Gronsky. After seeing his work/website, I'm a fan of his series and wishing to visit the exposition...<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Le Jury du Prix Photographique Ville de Levallois-Epson 2011, réuni mercredi 7 septembre à Levallois, a décidé à l’unanimité de décerner le quatrième Prix Photographique Ville de Levallois – Epson à Alexander Gronsky (Estonie, 1980), pour sa série Mountains & Waters.<br />
Le Prix consiste en une bourse de 10 000 euros assortie de la production d'une exposition dans le cadre de la quatrième édition du festival.<br />
Fidèle à la vocation internationale du Prix, le jury 2011 a rassemblé des professionnels venus d'Europe et d'Asie, qui ont élu son travail parmi 239 dossiers, en provenance de 41 pays".</blockquote>

Lancé en 2008 à l'initiative de la Ville de Levallois, Photo Levallois revient en novembre 2011 pour sa quatrième édition, confirmant son engagement envers la photographie contemporaine sous toutes ses formes. Depuis ses débuts, le festival se veut ouvert aux évolutions de la photographie sans privilégier une tendance particulière, afin d'en restituer la pluralité et la richesse, en faisant la part belle aux jeunes générations et aux échanges avec les autres domaines de création. Des artistes reconnus internationalement ou émergents aux photographes amateurs, tous trouvent leur place dans un événement qui rassemble les grands courants de la photographie contemporaine.</blockquote>editorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00183661478683188073noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494753050754851399.post-49936381105280647612011-10-27T20:49:00.000+02:002011-10-28T11:30:11.101+02:00Communication Arts : Photography CompetitionCommunication Arts Photography Competition : 2004 - present<br />

<br />
I can't find information on 2011 prizes and jury. No prizes this time? I did see an <i>Appel à candidatures pour la sélection des artistes présentés dans l’exposition panafricaine, </i>but I can't download/open the documents. Should you be interested, there is a downloadable press kit on the 9th edition of Recontres de Bamako. <a href="http://www.rencontres-bamako.com/IMG/pdf/DP_BAMAKO_2011_BassDef.pdf">Download <i>dossier de press</i></a>.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"This African Photography Biennial, which is now recognised around the world, has been a key event for the last 17 years in the African and Caribbean artistic programme supported by the Institut français. Through the Bamako Encounters, we have supported African artistic creation around three major themes: supporting creation -by producing prints of the photos in the exhibition, which belong to the artists and provide them with a source of revenues – supporting training –through photography workshops organised in Africa between biennials – supporting visibility –in venues devoted to contemporary art or art marketplaces. Here in Bamako, the World can discover and recognise the creativity of African artists. Bamako is also where artists can meet with professionals to discuss new projects that will allow them to show their work in London, Sao Paulo or Tokyo. And in France, during Paris Photo, we can find the young artists discovered at the Bamako Encounters in recent years.

<br />
Since my last post on this award, things have evolved. I agree that the Prix Pictet is now one of the leading prizes in photography. Prize money, recognition, publicity for the laureates and short listed photographers are quite epic. Awareness for sustainability is well raised.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.prixpictet.com/news/latest/article/date/2011/10/prix-pictet-power-launched-and-heading-for-london/">Exhibition of photographs made by Chris Jordan </a><br />
<blockquote>
"Launched in 2008 by the Geneva-based private bank Pictet & Cie, the Prix Pictet has rapidly established itself as the world’s leading prize in photography and sustainability. It has a unique mandate – to use the power of photography to communicate vital messages to a global audience. The goal is to uncover art of the highest order, applied to confront the pressing social and environmental challenges of the new millennium.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
The Prix Pictet has two elements: the prize of CHF 100,000 awarded to the photographer who, in the opinion of the independent jury, has produced a series of work that speaks most powerfully to the theme of the award; and the Commission, awarded by the Partners of Pictet & Cie, in which a shortlisted photographer is invited to undertake a field trip to a region where the Bank is supporting a sustainability project.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
American photographer Chris Jordan was invited to undertake the third Price Pictet Commission.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
The fourth theme of the Prix will be <b>Power</b>. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
Between now and January 2012 a network of 180 experts from five continents, acting as nominators for the prize, will scan the globe in search of images that are both of the highest artistic merit and have the narrative power to provoke and disturb, but also to inspire".</blockquote>
The Shortlist will be announced at the festival Les Rencontres d’Arles in July 2012.

Deadline : 29 February 2012<br />
<br />
I came across a photo contest that I had not seen before. The APO contest however has been around : six competitions since 2001.<br />
<br />
I read through the rules and could not find anything unusual with regard to photo rights. "APO-Asian photographers", you might want to check it out. BTW, should one of you have had experiences with the APO Photo Contest, don't hesitate to share them over here.<br />
<blockquote>
"Photos must show scenes from everyday life reflecting either productivity, sustainable development, or both. Productivity means “improved or better ways of doing things,” while sustainable development means “progress with due regard for environmental protection.” This photo contest is intended to depict only positive aspects related to the theme".</blockquote>

<br />
This year I should visit Paris Photo fair again. Because Paris Photo will celebrate its 15th anniversary with a theme/exhibition that has my interest : <b>African photography from Bamako to Cape Town</b>, "unveiling the creative wealth of historic and contemporary African artists". Also I'm quite curious to see the four programmes are about that will "articulate Paris Photo’s new identity".<br />
<br />
One of which is the <a href="http://www.parisphoto.fr/prix-du-livre.html?lg=en"><b>“Paris Photo Book Prize”</b></a> : <br />
<br />
For
its first edition, the Paris Photo Book Prize will reward a reference
photographic book that has marked the past 15 years. The Prize is made
with the Aperture Foundation and benefits from the support of Leica. The Paris Photo Photo Book Prize – will be announced on Thursday 10th November, 2011.<br />

<br />
Contest for photojournalists and fine art photographers<br />
<br />
2009<br />
<br />
Johan Bävman, Sweden, Freelance Photographer / Moment<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
The UNICEF Photo of the Year 2009 is part Johan Bävman’s series “Albino –
In the shadow of the sun”. Ten-year-old Selina is one of about 150,000
albinos in Tanzania. Her body does not produce enough melanin. Her skin,
hair and eyes therefore need special protection against the sun. Many
people with albinism suffer from skin cancer or severe visual
impairment. Their average life expectancy in countries such as Tanzania
is 30 years. Due to the light color of their skin, they are stared at,
ridiculed and ostracized. They are called “zeru zeru” – the children of
the devil. The boarding school in Mwanza, Northern Tanzania, where the
UNICEF Photo of the Year was taken, is surrounded by a 2m fence.
Originally built for visually impaired children, the school has become a
sanctuary for more than 100 albino children. Here they are protected by
the police who patrol the area also at night. This became necessary
since albinos in the region near Lake Victoria became target of
unprecedented brutality about three years ago. They are mutilated and
killed because their body parts are traditionally regarded and sold as
talismans. Superstitious locals think they will help them to catch more
fish in Lake Victoria or find gold and diamonds. According to official
sources, more than 40 albinos have been murdered in Tanzania; the real
numbers are likely to be higher, as many cases go unreported. Meanwhile
the government started taking stronger action and it now looks as if
violence against albinos is declining. <a href="http://www.unicef.de/en/aktionen/foto-des-jahres-2009/aktuelles-2009-foto-des-jahres/">Read more</a><br />

Alice Smeets : Surviving in Haiti<br />
<blockquote>
Her winning picture shows a girl in the largest slum in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital. Although she has to live between dirt and rubbish, the girl is wearing a clean white dress with matching ribbons in her hair whilst walking barefoot through the mud. “The photo shows us the courage and energy of a little girl who is growing up in the face of adversity. Children from the poorest backgrounds often demonstrate great strength” said UNICEF patroness Eva Luise Köhler at the award ceremony on Thursday in Berlin. “The UNICEF-Photo of the Year is a plea to heed and support these children”.</blockquote>
International experts of photography are asked by UNICEF Germany to encourage young photographers to make a submission. The photographers submit five to ten photos that demonstrate a high level of photography and visually interpret living situations of children. <br />
The first prize: a photo assignment from German GEO magazine and Leica camera equipment.<br />
There is no possibility to enter the contest without nomination.<br />

"I Couldn't Believe It Was True"."Actually, the picture is a snapshot," Smeets told Spiegel Online. She took the picture of the girl and then told her she could run back to her friends.
