Founded in 1997 it is not only one of the most prestigious professional networking portals it is also been around longer than almost any other one on the net. GoSee’s weekly newsletter on all things film and photography (exhibitions, festivals, books, fashion, et al) doesn’t seize to impress the reader with its remarkable informational value and is hence one of the most valued media for industry professionals with more than 100,000 subscribers worldwide. No less than 150 articles a month even make it the most up-to-date medium there is. Another handy tool when looking for the latest trends in photography - and not only if you are a creative or art director or an art buyer - is the platform’s image database: here, 2,000 new campaign, editorial or arts images each month speak for themselves.

For this year’s 10 festival for fashion & photography and with regards to the Editorial Award, Unit F büro für mode collaborated with GoSee for the first time. Thanks to the German photo platform it was possible to extend the reach of this year’s call for entries to all German-speaking countries and thus enhance the variety and popularity of the festival, even across Austrian borders. What is even more: for the first time, the award for fashion photography allows for not one but two winners in the two new categories ? Fashion and Portrait. Frank Schmitz, co-founder and CEO of GoSee, is part of this year’s international jury and helped pick out the best works among the numerous entries. The entire application and  submission process was hosted on GoSee’s online presence. The winning entries will be published here first.
