TruePicture enters the second round: Top-class nominations from Hannover.<\/h1>\n

The TruePicture<\/a> photojournalism grant enters its second round. <\/strong>38 photographers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland have been nominated for participation this year. The students of Hochschule Hannover \u2013 University of Applied Sciences<\/a> and Arts were again particularly impressive: 20 nominees are currently enrolled in our programme or have recently graduated. The jury will announce the three winners on July 6, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TruePicture is a photojournalism grant that supports young and dedicated photojournalists in their training and professional careers. Swiss photographer Manuel Bauer<\/a> initiated the project last year. The winners will receive mentoring and funding of 15,000 Swiss francs (approximately \u20ac15,000). This supports the participants in the realization of a project with high social relevance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TruePicture sees photojournalism as a vital means of promoting democracy and shaping public opinion. In a recent interview with ftmedien.ch<\/a>, Manuel Bauer emphasized the need for funding and mentoring programmes like TruePicture: \u201cPhotographers are completely on their own to get funding. And the editorial offices no longer have the financial means to send photo reporters abroad for a larger project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TruePicture grant works closely with the Visual Journalism and Documentary Photography programme. The professors<\/a> are part of both the nominating committee and the mentoring programme. Last year<\/a>, Tatsiana Tkachova<\/a>, a student from the international class<\/a>, had already received a place. Alumni Patrick Junker<\/a> received an Honourable Mention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
