The 2nd Lumix Festival for Young Photojournalism ended after five emotional and impressive days. Young photographers featured in the exhibition, photography experts, professional visitors and interested guests got to look up to the more than 1.400 photos on the Expo grounds in Hannover, try out novelties in the technique showroom or just have a talk with each other. The photography students of the University of Applied Sciences Hannover followed the event with their cameras – you can find their impressions, captured in many atmospheric pictures, and reactions from photography experts here.

The Italian Davide Monteleone won the FreeLens Award and 10,000 euros of prize money with his essay on »Northern Caucasus«.


Emiliano Larizza brought home pictures from Haiti that were not like the ones that came through the news agencies. He received an Honourable Mention and 1,000 euros for his work about the »Haiti Earthquake«.


Johan Bävman received an Honourable Mention and 1,000 euros for his work »In the Shadow of the Sun« about the destiny of albinos in Tanzania.


Another Honourable Mention went to Munem Wasif's reportage »Salt Water Tears« about the disastrous consequences of commercial shrimp fishing in Southwest Bangladesh.


Thomas Lekfeldt was glad about an Honourable Mention and the Hannoversche Allgemeine Audience Award, each endowed with 1,000 euros. For his reportage »A Star in the Sky« he had photographed a girl suffering from cancer and her family.
