Launched in 2016 by the World Photography Organisation and ZEISS, the ZEISS Photography Award asks photographers to respond to a set brief in creative and unique ways and is designed to challenge the creative boundaries of those entering, The 2018 brief, “Seeing Beyond – Untold Stories”, requires photographers to present a strong series of five to ten images that look beyond the ordinary and every day. “Untold Stories” is intended to be understood in its broadest sense – the work could explore a familiar theme told from a different perspective or it could address an issue that has previously had little attention.

All forms of photography are welcome and judges are specifically looking for series of works that have a strong narrative. The ‘Untold Story’ that the photographer presents must be visually clear in the submitted images.
