central week
17–22 may
For the first time this photobook prize will be awarded, offered by Steidl Publishers to support young photographers. It does justice to the importance of the photobook as a medium which by now plays an important role as a means of artistic expression. Ten professors at European universities and colleges have each nominated one book project by a student who graduated no more than two years ago. The nominees will be invited to show their designs at a presentation on 21 May in Essen. The prize is the realisation of the winning book by Gerhard Steidl / Steidl Publishers. A jury, consisting of two university professors, Ute Eskilden, Kerstin Stremmel, and Gerhard Steidl, will announce its decision on 22 May, as part of next 1.
