"A Kodak creates a sensation…" is the title of this image, showing the pioneering American photojournalist Frances Benjamin Johnston amidst a group of curious children. The photograph was taken in the late 19th century, when the sight of a camera really did still cause a flurry of excitement.

Submissions for the DGPh Education Award 2016 are now open. The award aims to inspire new developments in field of visual education. What effects can photographs have? Which feelings can they evoke, which aspirations can they invoke?
Submissions are open until 15 March 2016.
Images have the power to convey life situations and circumstances, and to present them to a public audience in an accessible manner. Understanding this process, however, requires a specific set of skills. The DGPh Education Award seeks to address this theme by supporting innovative and sustainable projects in the field of visual communication, as well as practice-based scientific projects.
Applications can be uploaded as PDF files at DGPh, or sent by mail. Press reviews may be enclosed, if applicable. Participants submitting a degree thesis must do so in printed form.
The winner of the DGPh Education Award stands to receive 1,000 euros.
