Hahnemühle Anniversary Collection poised for 2010 launch of multi-city world tour

Woodstock, IL November 30th, 2009

London, Paris and New York are among the stops on the Hahnemühle Anniversary Collection’s 2010 world tour of international photo capitals. The tour is scheduled to begin in Sydney, Australia on February 10th, and will then travel to Beijing, Berlin, Toronto and Hong Kong. A special highlight of the tour will take place in Cologne, Germany at Photokina where the award winning images will be exhibited from September 21st through 26th.

To help celebrate their 425th year of continuous paper mill operation, Hahnemühle created the Anniversary Photo Awards as an open, international photographic competition with an intriguing theme: ‘For Originals.’ The company was interested in having photographers present their unique visions of people, objects and atmospheres from the most original perspective possible. Nearly 1,800 photographers from 45 countries around the world sent in more than 7,100 entries. From these, an international panel of experts selected 43 to become part of the Hahnemühle Anniversary Collection.

“These extraordinary images represent a full range of photographic subjects,” says Hahnemühle’s Managing Director, Jörg Adomat. “From portraits and landscape to architecture and still life, this is a truly special exhibition. In addition, we have selected individual inkjet papers from the Hahnemühle Digital FineArt Collection that are particularly suitable; with regard to whiteness, structure, etc; to optimise the print presentation of each and every photograph.”
