We Celebrate Photography. 75 Years of the DGPh | DGPh Photography Awards on October 24, 2026, in Cologne
Under the guiding theme “We Celebrate Photography,” the German Photographic Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Photographie e. V., DGPh) is celebrating its 75th anniversary with a year-long participatory program. The program began on April 18 with the Moment of Exposure photo campaign and continues with the open call Tomorrow Will Be Yesterday (submissions accepted until August 21, 2026, via picter.com). On September 19, curated works from all submissions will be presented in the Ballroom at Fotografiska Berlin—location and collaboration partner of the DGPh—on a large-format LED wall accompanied by live music, coinciding with the final weekend of the Anton Corbijn exhibition. The selection will be made by an international jury comprising Kathy Ryan, recipient of the 2025 Dr. Erich Salomon Award, Claire Ducresson-Boët, Wolfgang Zurborn, Thomas Gerwers, and Ralph Baiker.
