The worldwide spread of Covid-19 can be seen as a consequence of the approximately 500-year history of globalisation, which began not least with the circumnavigation of the African continent by European seafarers. Against this backdrop, we focus our attention on the two continents and invite photographers from Africa and Europe to submit their works on the effects of the Corona pandemic. These can be taken from their personal lives or follow an investigative topic.

2) In addition to the exhibitions the photographers of the 10 highest-rated entries will receive an edition or a portfolio of archival fine art prints produced by Artificial Image (Germany). Winner announcement: 10 September 2020
