The Picture Award is open for everyone
The low application fee of max. € 5 per picture in the early bird phase ensures that the quality of our award reaches a good level and, on the other hand, that as many people as possible from all over the world can take part.
Of course, it is strictly forbidden to submit images that you have not created yourself. You’re welcome to participate multiple times. We publish your submitted images on our Instagram if you want. Therefore, we ask you to enter your Instagram account in the application form so that we can link you. If you don't want to publish your pictures to our community just leave the field in the form empty. No images will be published uncurated, but we ask all participants not to send any pornographic or criminal content. If people are to be seen in the images, we assume that the submitter has permission to publish these people.
