German camera award
The German Camera Prize is an award sponsored by Westdeutscher Rundfunk , the City of Cologne and the German Society for Photography , which has been awarded to outstanding achievements in the field of camera work for film and television since 1982 . Since 1990, scenic and documentary editing performances have also received awards. Up until the year 2000, this prize was awarded every two years. From 2001 it will be held annually.
For the areas of camera and editing, the German Camera Prize has been awarded over the years in various categories, some of which have been modified from year to year. Among the most important are the categories of feature films and television films as well as the award with the title "Ehrenkameramann" (since 1994). In addition, honorable mentions are given and promotional prizes are awarded.
history
The Verein Deutscher Kamerapreis Köln e. V. was founded in December 2002, but its roots go back much further. As early as the late 1970s, the idea for a price arose that was intended to appropriately honor the achievements of image designers and to focus on their work. The framework for such a competition was developed by the “Kölner Kamerapreis” working group, which included representatives from the City of Cologne , West German Broadcasting and Second German Television .
