Press Release: THE EYEʼEM MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHY AWARD 2010

The EYEʼEM AWARD is a global competition celebrating creative excellence in mobile photography. It is our mission to create a unique showcase of the scene's most admired shots and present them to a wider audience. All winning images will be exhibited in an exclusive AWARD EXHIBITION in Berlin. Moreover the finalists will be published in the EYE'EM Annual, a book dedicated to mobile photography. EYE'EM announces an international jury including some of the worlds leading mobile photographers, creatives and designers from America, Asia and Europe.

The EYEʼEM AWARD 2010 is dedicated to a new generation of photographers. With the increasing quality of in-built cameras, more and more mobile phone users discover their passion for photography. Capturing  both, people and context, situations as they happen, these photographers become voyeurs of the everyday and document the world as they see it.

“To take photographs means to recognize – simultaneously and within a fraction of a second – both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting oneʼs head, oneʼs eye and oneʼs heart on the same axis.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson

There is already an exclusive crowd out there who have proved themselves worthy of carrying on the mission of Cartier Bresson, the point and shoot legend of the 1940s. EYE'EM features remarkable mobile photographers on http://www.eyeem.com/blog. The global mobile photography movement has been gaining momentum for years. EYE'EM is convinced that the time has come to push forward a new form of art. Mobile Photography is rising and ready to conquer the global art scene. And EYE'EM provides the stage for it.

This is a great opportunity to those people that may not have SLR's but loves taking pictures using their phones. Because sometimes people think that if you are a photographer you only use professional camera.

Anyone know how to go back later and submit photos? I submitted one photo which went through successfully. When I went back later to submit a second one, it told me that my email address was already used. Now I can't submit anything and can't find the first photo amongst the submissions. I've tried contacting EYE'EM with no luck. DO you know how to do this? I'm feeling a bit desperate here! Thanks!
