What Makes this event different?

Rory Doyle’s series ‘Delta Hill Riders’ provided audiences with a visual insight into the subculture of African American cowboys and cowgirls in the rural Mississippi Delta, securing him a winning place in the 2019 ZEISS Photography Award, responding to the theme ‘The Unexpected’. Doyle comments; “I'm incredibly grateful for the ZEISS Photography Award because it provided me an opportunity to share the stories of my subjects with a global audience. Thanks to the award, my project was picked up by international outlets, and it really allowed me to share the photos with the world. I couldn't ask for anything more."

The ZEISS Photography Award is an international photography competition that challenges photographic artists to submit bodies of work responding to a selected theme. For its fifth edition, the ZEISS Photography Award today announces the theme of “Seeing Beyond - Discoveries”. Photographers entering the competition are asked to enter five to ten strong images that align with the narrative of discovery. The competition is free to enter at www.worldphoto.org/zeiss and the deadline is February 4, 2020 13.00 (GMT). 

 

The theme “Seeing Beyond - Discoveries” tests photographers to use their camera as a tool to explore and question the world. Throughout time the human race has thrived on making discoveries, whether it be a personal revelation, a scientific and technological breakthrough, or an idea that has led to social change. The ZEISS Photography Award provides the opportunity for artists to put a spotlight on these new, unseen discoveries in life. All submissions must be accompanied by a supporting statement outlining the story behind the body of work.
