Competitions

Send us your view! Become part of the exhibition at Ostkreuz. The aim of the ‘IN TRANSIT’ project is to situate the ‘view of the other’ in a discourse about our current society or societies and to stimulate dialogue. Everyone is invited to participate actively and artistically and to record and communicate his or her view of the other, of social and urban transformation, in photographs. Selected motifs will be presented along with works by 50 photographers at the Ostkreuz train station.

A photo marathon is a competition under extreme circumstances. Within four hours, participants have to put together a series of twenty-four photos. The photos have to be made in the order given. And each theme is only announced during the photo marathon itself. First prize: a Panasonic Lumix camera. Award ceremony on 03.11.12 at 7 pm at Supermarkt Wedding (Brunnenstraße 64, Wedding)

The winners of the photo and text competition in connection with the exhibition Geteilte Blicke (Divided Views) will be selected by the curators and jury members Dr Ulrike Pilarczyk and Petra Schröck.

For the first time, the European Month of Photography, Berlin, offers a portfolio viewing, to take place at the Berlinische Galerie as the conclusion of the festival on November 24 and 25, 2012. Selected emerging photographers can present their works in fifteen-twenty-minute, individual conversations to well-known experts in the photo scene – including photographers, exhibition curators, picture editors, art buyers and teachers. Every photographer has the possibility to talk to four experts. Afterwards, the experts will go along the large table during a one-hour ‘walk’ and discuss the works displayed by all of the participants. The first prize is an exhibition in the gallery Pavlov’s Dog – Raum für Fotografie in 2013, that will be conceptualized in cooperation with the gallerists of Pavlov's Dog. The presentation of the awards is public and will take on November 25 in the exhibition rooms of the Berlinische Galerie, which will be kept open especially for this event.
