The Oskar Barnack Award 2014
Every year, Leica Camera AG runs a highly prestigious photography competition in honour of its founder – the Oskar Barnack Award.
In 2014 the Oskar Barnack Award will be celebrating 100 years since the Leica company’s founding. Leica Camera AG have decided to make this centenary competition in 2014 special in several ways and have invited I SHOT IT members to join in the celebrations.
For the first time in the award’s history, there will be a Leica Oskar Barnack Public Award. The winner of this award will be determined from a shortlist of candidates selected by the jury in an online vote organised in collaboration with I SHOT IT. Yes, that’s right, our I SHOT IT members and participants get to choose the very first winner of the Leica Oskar Barnack Public Award.
Not only will the winner receive a cash prize of 2,500 euros but I SHOT IT members who participated in the voting will be entered into a draw for compact cameras as non-cash prizes.
We are sure you will join us in recognising what an enormous honour it is for us to be asked to participate in choosing the winner of an important international photographic competition in this way – with the addition of a chance to win a camera as a reward for taking part in the voting panel.
I SHOT IT really is the Best Photo Competition.
