		<description><![CDATA[Leica Camera AG, Solms, extends their invitation to submit entries to their international photography competition for professional photographers, the ‘Leica Oskar Barnack Award’. Applications from interested photographers will be accepted exclusively online at www.leicaoskar-barnack-award.com between 15 January and 15 March 2010. The competition also includes the awarding of a ‘Newcomer Award’ that addresses all (prospective) professional photographers aged 25 and under. An international jury awards the ‘Leica Oskar Barnack Award’ / ‘Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award’ to photographers whose unerring powers of observation capture and express the relationship between man and the environment in the most graphic form in a sequence of between ten and twelve images. Entry submissions must be a self-contained series of images in which the photographer perceives and documents the interaction between man and the environment with acute vision and contemporary visual style – creative, groundbreaking and unintrusive. All photo series submitted will be displayed in a specially dedicated online gallery on the Leica website. The ‘Leica Oskar Barnack Award’ is a prize of 5,000 euros or, alternatively, Leica camera equipment to the same value. The winner of the Newcomer Award receives 2,500 euros. The prizes will be presented in the course of the Rencontres Internationales [...]]]></description>
