On October 2 in Zingst, the professional association of freelance photographers and film designers (BFF) will award the 3 winners of the New BFF Award. The motto of the competition, "elementar", or "elemental", gives young photographers the chance to give impulses for the future world view. More than 130 photography students had submitted concepts, hoping to implement them with professional support within the BFF mentoring program. The BFF professionals assisted the finalists in the realization of the projects.

The three equally ranking prizes go to Tamara Eckhardt for "Children of Carrowbone", Laura Stromp for "Origin" and Marina Cordes & Signe Heldt for "ebenda". All 12 realized photo concepts of the finalists will be on display after the award ceremony in an exhibition premiere from October 3rd to 11th. They give the viewer the opportunity to approach socially relevant issues from new perspectives. Originally, the exhibition was planned as part of the environmental photo festival "horizonte zingst", but had to be postponed due to the current situation. All participants are pleased that the presentation can now take place in Zingst after all, as is tradition.
