The 2012 Leica Oskar Barnack Award has begun
This world reknowned award, now in its 33rd year, is currently open for entries. An international jury awards this award to photographers whose unerring powers of observation capture and express the relationship between people and their environment in a portfolio of up to 12 images.
A second honour, the Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award, is awarded to prospective professional photographers aged 25 and under.
All current entries for this years’ competition are now available to view in the new Leica Oskar Barnack Award online gallery.
