The Felix Schoeller Photo Award honours works that clearly illustrate a love of photography and exceptionally stringent demands on picture quality.

All professional photographers may submit photographs in four categories:

• Portrait
• Photojournalism
• Sustainability
• German Peace Prize for Photography

Emerging photographers (photography or film students) may only submit their photgraphs in the non-themed special category “Best Work by an Emerging Photographer”.

Every entry to the Felix Schoeller Photo Award must consist of no less than three and no more than five individual photographs. These may form a series or be unrelated individual photos. The images must follow a concept and demonstrate how the entrant has approached the photographic subject area. A concept outline is part of the entry. It must be submitted in English and may not exceed the maximum length of 1,000 characters.

There is no entry fee.
