This January: Leica European Publishers Award for Photography 2007

A major initiative to encourage the publication of contemporary photography, this competition is a collaborative effort between seven European Publishers: Actes Sud of France, Apeiron of Greece, Dewi Lewis Publishing of Great Britain, Edition Braus of Germany, Lunwerg Editores of Spain, Mets & Schilt of The Netherlands, and Peliti Associati of Italy. They will accept submissions until January 31, 2007.

The competition requires the submission of a substantial, completed and unpublished photographic book project. The winning project is then published in book form simultaneously by each of the publishers in their own country resulting in perhaps the most extensive cultural collaboration currently existing in Europe.
