Zwei Bilder, die dieses Jahr bei den 8th INTERNATIONAL COLOR AWARDS zu den Gewinnern gehören durften.
Die Color- und Spider Awards sind Fotokunstwettbewerbe mit Juroren aus der Fotokunst- und Kunstszene.
Anders als bei Fotowettbewerben in denen in der Jury meist internationale Fotografiegrössen als Juroren die eingereichten Bilder bewerten, wird der Internationale Coloraward juriert von international agierenden Galeristen, Kuratoren und bekannten Kunstinstitutionen. Er ist somit ein Wettbewerb der sich vor allem der Fotokunst verschrieben hat, und jährlich nehmen hauptsächlich Profifotografen aber auch Amateurfotografen (wie ich) an diesem Wettbewerb teil.
Die Jury members in diesem Jahr waren z.B. unter anderem Galeristen und Kuratoren von Christie's, Paris; Frieze Art Fair, London; DB Agency, Milan; Clair Galerie, Munich; Edinburgh Film Festival; Art Beatus Gallery, Hong Kong; Gup Magazine, Amsterdam; and Eyestorm, London.
