Leica is calling for entries in its international competition for professional photographers, the Leica Oskar Barnack Award, which boasts a prize of either 5,000 euros or Leica camera equipment of the same value.

Presented during the prestigious Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie photographic festival held in Arles, France, the competition  requires photographers to submit a selection of ten to twelve images in which the photographer ‘perceives and documents the interaction between man and the environment with acute vision and contemporary visual style – creative, groundbreaking and unintrusive.’

A section for prospective professional photographers aged under 25, the Newcomer Award, will also be held, with a prize of 2,500 euros.

Applications from interested photographers will be accepted exclusively online at www.leica-oskar-barnack-award.com between 15 January and 15 March 2010.
