The German Photobook Prize is a competition in which a jury selects the best photo books in the German-speaking world. It was founded more than 25 years ago and was organized by the German Publishers and Booksellers Association in Stuttgart until 2016. From 2017 to 2022, the Stuttgart Media University (HDM) organized the award. At the book fair in October 2022, the Stuttgart-based organization handed over the organization to the two initiators of the INTERNATIONAL FESTIVALS OF PHOTOGRAPHIC PICTURES. From 2023, the Photobook Prize will be awarded annually in Regensburg. An extensive exhibition tour through Europe and Asia will round off the competition.

We are pleased to be able to bring the touring exhibition once again to Hong Kong.
