IMS Photo Contest 2015 “Mountain.Faces”

The IMS Photo Contest 2015 under the motto “Mountain.Faces” aims to get pictures, that represent individual perspectives of the mountain, with all its facets as well as his conquerors and inhabitants. Show your picture, the mountain faces, not matter made of rocks, made of flesh and blood or fur. Eventually what counts is the uniqueness of the moment, captured for the eternity. Mountains all over the world are telling stories about climbers, conquering steep walls, alpinists undergoing harsh conditions, mountain people living between brusque rock formations, fighting on a daily base against mother nature’s forces and animals adapting to almost unreal situations. Not only faces of mountaineers, climbers and mountain people, affected by pain and exhaustion for the “summit victory”, tell stories about mountains, but also tears of joy when reaching the top. For the first time in the IMS Photo Contest history, there are two categories in the competition – Kiku Photo Award and DJI Aerial Photo Award.

Participation in the competition is free of charge. Eligible for the Photo Contest are professional and amateur photographers starting from the age of 16 (born before or on the 31 July 1999). Excluded are jury members, members of the IMS organizational committee and collaborators of Salem Frucht, KIKU, DJI and DURST Phototechnik AG.
