The image as the end product of a creative process has for many years been a focus of the world's largest trade fair for the photography and imaging sector.
This is why thematically diverse and high quality photography exhibitions have been very special highlights of every photokina since it was launched. The organizers — Koelnmesse and the Photographic Industry Association — are well aware of this and would like to once again strengthen their commitment in this area at the next photokina.
An open invitation has be issued to international organizations, associations, publishers, and clubs calling upon them to submit a photography exhibition with the aim of being granted an exhibition area at photokina.
Together with the Photographic Industry Association, Koelnmesse will select which of the submitted photography exhibitions will be invited to present their images at photokina 2010. In this way, the organizers are hoping to further highlight the image’s significance for photokina, while also continuing to expand the spectrum of topics and presentations. The terms and conditions of the competition will be available to download from the photokina Web site.
