Applicants can be young photojournalists, students of photography and trainees and mustn't be older than 35 when sending in their reportage for the competition. In contrast to the last festival, applications can only come from the applicants themselves this time. Only reportages, essays and series with journalistic character can be handed in. Applications are accepted from 1 December 2009 until 28 February 2010, application forms will be activated during this period. A team of curators of the organizers - from the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hannover and the photojournalist's organisation FreeLens - will then choose the 60 works to be exhibited from the total of all works handed in. All selected works then have to be uploaded as files to the ftp server of the festival office. From these files, the exhibition prints will be printed in Hannover in first class gallery quality. The prints will be destroyed after the festival. An international jury chooses the winner of the FreeLens Award out of the 60 exhibited reportages. The award ceremony will be part of the final festival party on Saturday, 19 June 2010. application forms You can apply for the Freelens Award from now on until 28 February 2010.

Only bad, embarrassing to look at and talk about photographs will be considered, and the jury of smug, wealthy peers will meet in awkward silence and uncomfortable tension. The grand prize will be more alcohol to drown misery. Applications will be accepted from here to eternity. http://fuckmehard.com Tue, 22 Dec 2009 23:20:59 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/call-for-entries-2010-festival-for-young-photojournalism#159040 "The prints will be destroyed after the festival." Joke? Hilarious. Not a joke? Why wouldn't they donate prints to the nearest whatever institution? Something... destroy is the only option?

The idea of young photojournalism is in itself really more than little funny. Shouldn't they really be exhibiting video? I jest, I jest...
