Some 400 projects from 30 countries were received for this year’s competition and we were extremely impressed by the range and quality of the work.
The Jury consisted of seven publishers:
Benoît Rivero (Actes Sud, France),
John Demos (Apeiron, Greece),
Dewi Lewis and Caroline Warhurst (Dewi Lewis Publishing, United Kingdom),
Andrés Gamboa and Javier Ortega (Lunwerg Editores, Spain),
Mario Peliti (Peliti Associati, Italy),
Maarten Schilt (Mets & Schilt, The Netherlands),
Günter Braus (Edition Braus, Germany).
Our external judge was Greg Hobson (Curator of Photography, National Media Museum, Bradford, UK) and David Bell (Managing Director, Leica Camera Ltd, UK).
We will shortly be returning the projects we received in the UK. If you submitted to one of the other publishers then it will be returned by them and will take a little longer.
The European Publishers Award for Photography is a major initiative to encourage the publication of contemporary photography.
Open to photographers world-wide, the competition is a unique collaboration between six European Publishers – Actes Sud (France), Apeiron (Greece), Dewi Lewis Publishing (Great Britain), Edition Braus (Germany), Lunwerg Editores (Spain) and Peliti Associati (Italy).
The competition requires the submission of a substantial, completed and unpublished photographic book project. The winning project is then published in book form simultaneously by each of the publishers in their own country resulting in perhaps the most extensive cultural collaboration currently existing in Europe.
