THEME

"We have decided to stick with last year's theme so that we can continue telling the story," says Winfried Scherle from Zeiss. "'Meaningful Places' truly lets your creativity and personal take on the theme roam free." Different perspectives are just as welcome as free interpretations: "You can present places with social or historical significance or personal, emotional or aesthetic value -- or even all of the above."

Scott Gray, CEO, World Photography Organization, adds: "The Zeiss Photography Award challenges photographers by asking them to consider a theme that has purposefully been designed to be interpreted in multiple ways. The high quality of entries received in the inaugural year has set the benchmark and I look forward to seeing the creative responses from photographers worldwide to the theme."

JUDGES

Submitted work will be judged by international experts across the world of photography including:

  • Claire Richardson, Picture Editor, Lonely Planet Traveller
  • Jürgen Schadeberg Dr.(h.c.), Photographer
  • Sarah Toplis, Commissioning Executive, The Space

PRIZES

The winner can look forward to fantastic prizes, including:

  • Zeiss camera lenses to the value of €12,000
  • €3,000 travel expenses to complete a photography project of his/her choice
  • The opportunity to work individually with Zeiss

The winning photographer will also be flown to London to attend an awards ceremony and their images, as well as a selection of other photographs from the competition, will be exhibited at Somerset House, London from April 21 to May 7, 2017 during the 2017 Sony World Photography Awards Exhibition.
