Carl Zeiss Photo Contest

Photographers worldwide who use Carl Zeiss lenses, either in a traditional camera or a smartphone, can participate in a contest.

For its 2011 photography competition, Carl Zeiss is looking for that moment in which you do not see a subject, but a story. “We’re looking for images of that very special moment,” says Martin Dominicus, Head of Marketing for the Carl Zeiss Camera Lens Division. “Every life, every situation and every place is full of stories that take place in a split second. The ability to capture that in such a way that you recognize the story behind it — this is, and has always been, the high art of photography.”

There are no rules in terms of style. Images can show bizarre, mysterious, funny or romantic situations. Photographic techniques such as the conscious play with focusing or blur can be used, as well as light/shadow or black and white photography.

First prize is a ZEISS SLR camera lens of the winner’s choice (ZE or ZF.2), plus Carl Zeiss T* UV filter, Carl Zeiss Comfort Camera Strap and Carl Zeiss Lens Cleaning Kit.

The deadline is January 15, 2012.
