    Worldwide Large Format Photography Contest

    Hi everyone,

    I'm passing on an announcement of a contest for large format photographers.
    Judges will be Bruce Barnbaum, Urs BernHard, Stefan Maria Rother, Feng Jianguo, and Detlef Grosspietsch.

    The primary sponsors are Jobo, Chamonix, and Arca-Swiss, along with other notables which are known in the large-format photo industry, are joining forces to promote, celebrate, and carry forward the cultural heritage of analogue large-format photography. Prizes of more than € 20,000 are on offer. The mission of the sponsors:
    TOGETHER – we want to enable great photographic ARTWORK in large format.

    All finalists will be represented at the KOELNER LISTE (Art Cologne 2019)

    Each candidate can send 1 photo or a small series of up to 3 analog prints from negatives shot with a large format camera (any format from 4x5” to 20x24”).

    Open Genre: Architecture, Landscape, Still Life, Portrait, People, Contemporary...

    Deadline: Due at JOBO at the latest on May, 31 - 2018.
    We accept only analog prints from size 8x10” to 20x24” sent by traditional postal mail to JOBO artisan, Koelner Str. 58a, 51645 Gummersbach, Germany*.

    He has a portrait I like a lot of Mr Toshihiro Oshima (https://www.flickr.com/photos/tommyoshima/).

    This is Urs by Oshima:

    Re: Worldwide Large Format Photography Contest

    Conditions have been specified by jobo. In my translation (not perfekt, for binding conditions look yourself please):

    Requested are captures made by adjustable large format camera 9x12 cm/4x5 inch or more on plane film (or collodion negativ). No roll film.
    Final pictures must be made by light („from grain to grain“), not by ink.

    That means, black and white must be printed on light-sensitive paper,
    color must be from C 41 to RA-4 (whatever that means) or diapositive, or colour print from dia via film internegativ.
    „noble prints“ such as platinum, are accepted, when done without digital steps

    capture must be made personally, printing by third party is allowed.
    Original diapositives and other unikates will be sent back.
    Normal prints will not be sent back.

    best regards,
    hendrik

    I noticed all images had to be done in last two years... counts me out I use a camera once every few years to get my inventory of images to print at later date... too Bad I would have entered this one.

    finalists have been published;
    joboartisan.com/photo-contest

    in the meantime there was some discussion, because the contest has evidently changed to a mostly digital event.
    I even doubt, if all jury members have seen the (few?) real prints sent to Jobo or if some judged from a computer terminal ("grain to grain")
    The good thing is, that also rejected pictures are shown on the website and there I feel honoured to find my submission in very best company.

    IMHO judging LF Prints by conversion to digital is a fatal mistake.

    I am excited to view the 8X10 Collodion by Marcelo Troche macro, shot with an enlarger lens.

    from Jobo I was informed, that all members of the jury met in Germany.
    From the digital submissions Jobo made prints for the jury.
    Two of the six finalists had sent real prints.

    At least if you entered in the original format requested they did send a letter along with a nice JOBO hard cover book for taking notes.
    Questions and comments are always welcome
