Prize for photography from the City of Munich
The State Capital of Munich's Photography Prize has been awarded since 1984 (biennial since 2000) for an artistically outstanding achievement or an unusual artistic position in the field of photography. The current performance and previous work of the artist are decisive for the assessment. Only photographers who live in Munich or the Munich region or whose work is closely linked to Munich's cultural life are eligible for the sponsorship award. A personal application is not possible. A commission to be appointed annually by the city council, consisting of expert jurors and members of the city council, has the right to make proposals. It is endowed with 6,000 euros.
The prize Photography, together with the sponsorship architecture , the Foundation Art , the Award Design and Promotion jewelry forgiven. A separate jury is set up for each area.
