Usually I don’t participate in photo contests that often, but here I had not only the feeling that it fits but also liked the idea of the grant, because it directly helps you with the realization of your project and not only gives money for the „best“ piece of work to push photographer’s ego. Like the legendary german punk band „Bluttat“ would say, „Punk means support, no competition!
