Kata Dream Bag Contest
Here’s a different contest for you. Fed up with the limitations of your camera bag?

Send us your best seasonal picture and win a D-Lux 4
10/20/2009
Instead of looking for a picture to illustrate our Season´s Greetings card for the New Year ourselves, we have decided to let you participate in the designing of the card.
Our friends from LFI have designed a gallery on which you can post you best Season´s Greetings picture – the one that you think will illustrate Leica’s best wishes for the New Year. To do that, you should register at the LFI gallery first.
The picture can be in colour or black and white, must be in landscape format and be taken with a Leica camera. Of course the card should work throughout the world, which means that chosen subjects should not be too overtly religious. The original should be available 20×30cm in 300dpi; the version visible on the internet will not be at this definition and thus not suitable for illegal use from third parties.
The competition runs until midnight GMT on November 2nd, 2009.
Leica will decide on the winning picture and the judges decision if final.
This picture will be printed on Leica’s Season´s Greetings Card and used worldwide and will feature the name of the photographer.
In addition the winning photographer will receive a prize of a LEICA D-Lux 4.

2010 jury chair announced
We are pleased to announce that Ayperi Karabuda Ecer will chair next year’s World Press Photo contest. A true professional with profound experience of the photographic industry, she is currently vice-president at Reuters. Since Ecer was a member of this year’s jury, she already knows the procedure. Participants in the 2010 edition, she says, should try to make their best edit ever. She also has this advice: “Trust your instincts. Don’t try to second guess the jury. Every constellation of jurors will give different results, and there is no way you can predict their reactions.” The names of the other jurors on next year’s panel will be announced at the end of October.
Exhibition update
While we are hard at work to ensure that everything will be in order for the 2010 contest, this year’s edition of our exhibition continues to tour the world. At this point in time it is on show in Prague, A Coruña, La Paz, Budapest, Zwolle (the Netherlands), Oita (Japan) and other cities. In the next few weeks there will be openings in Maputo, Copenhagen, Toronto, Tauranga (New Zealand), Shiga (Japan), Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain) and Vienna.
