FAQ
Can I also take part when I have completed my studies in photography, or have qualified as a photographer, but am not yet earning more than 50% of my income with photography? If you work as an assistant for one or more photographers (as a member of staff or a freelancer), you may enter your work in the category ‘Emerging Photographer’. You must also provide verified proof of your employment as a photographic assistant signed by the professional photographer by whom you were employed. A waiting period of 6 months applies. This means that, at the time of entry, your studies in photography, qualification as a photographer, or your employment as a photographic assistant, may not have been completed longer than six months ago.
