Hahnemühle announced first photo competition which is specially designed for photography students.
No matter what their individual style and focus is, all enrolled photography students have the chance to take part and submit a series of five images.
The choice of theme is left entirely up to students.
During the competition, students of photography will receive a 10% discount on Hahnemuhle papers at the Inkjetsolution.eu.
About the competition
The competition consists of two rounds. In the first round, the jury selects 50 finalists from among all the online entries.
In the second and final round, the 50 finalists will submit their photo series printed on Hahnemühle paper.
To make choosing the paper easier, every finalist will receive a set of Hahnemühle sample packs.
This means that every participant in the final round has the opportunity to choose the paper that best suits their own photo series.
Hahnemühle give each finalist a box of 25 A3+ sheets of chosen paper.
