This prestigious biannual photography competition provides a platform for renowned professionals and emerging talents.
Hasselblad has unveiled the winners of its prestigious Hasselblad Masters biannual photo contest awarded to renowned industry professionals, emerging talents and photographers under the age of 21.
The contestants in six categories — Landscape, Architecture, Portrait, Art, Street and Project 21, a category for photographers under age 21, were asked to submit a series of three photos with a unified theme and visual style.
The images were judged on their reflection of photographic ability, creativity and technique by a combination of public voting and a jury of internationally-renowned photographers and imaging experts.
For this edition, the biannual competition fielded a record-breaking 85,000 photos submitted by photographers worldwide, marking a 35% increase in entries compared to the previous contest.
Winners are awarded the title of ‘Hasselblad Master’ and a Hasselblad 100MP mirrorless camera, two XCD series lenses and a creative fund of €5,000. They also will participate in a collaborative photo project with Hasselblad.
“A word that comes to mind when looking at the winning contributions is sense-making,” said Stefan Jensen, photographer and Curator at the Hasselblad Foundation and Grand Jury Chair.
