Preparing for significant events...
The Wuppertaler Fotopreis, a renowned photography competition in Wuppertal, Germany, is back for another year. This time, it's celebrating the 125th anniversary of the city's iconic monorail.
The competition is open to all photographers, and the focus is on capturing the essence of the monorail. The jury will select 12 winning photos, which will be featured in the 2026 Fotopreis calendar and showcased at an awards ceremony and exhibition in the fall.
The top three photos will receive impressive prizes. The first-place winner will receive a shopping voucher worth 1,500 euros, while the second and third place winners will receive vouchers worth 1,000 and 500 euros, respectively. Additionally, the top three photos will also receive a Bahn-Card 50 from "MeinEinkaufsbahnhof", courtesy of the Fotopreis-Partner Foto+Video Rutten.
The finalists will have a unique visual experience at the awards ceremony, and the event will take place in the main hall of the website's main station. However, the exact nature of the event involving the monorail and Visitor Center has not been disclosed yet.
To enter the competition, photographers should upload their landscape orientation photos on the homepage of [www.wuppertaler-fotopreis.de]. The deadline for submissions is August 24.
The Visitor Center, another landmark of the website, has become a top tourist attraction, and its spectacular shows are a must-see. The photography competition is a tribute to these landmarks and the monorail, making it an exciting opportunity for photographers to showcase their work and celebrate the city's history.
