Corona Call | Photography that shows impact | Views from Africa and Europe

Initial Situation

The worldwide spread of Covid-19 can be seen as a consequence of the approximately 500-year history of globalisation, which began not least with the circumnavigation of the African continent by European seafarers. Against this backdrop, we focus our attention on the two continents and invite photographers from Africa and Europe to submit their works on the effects of the Corona pandemic. These can be taken from their personal lives or follow an investigative topic.

Award

1) 25 shortlisted participants will be exhibited in Berlin (Germany), Lagos (Nigeria), Kigali (Rwanda) and Nairobi (Kenya). Shortlist announcement: 29 August 2020

2) In addition to the exhibitions the photographers of the 10 highest-rated entries will receive an edition or a portfolio of archival fine art prints produced by Artificial Image (Germany). Winner announcement: 10 September 2020

3) European Photography and Oath, two art magazines from Germany and South Africa, will publish a selection of the submitted works in one of their next issues.
