| the day of the jury meeting |
An interesting task, since I also started as an entrepreneurs, almost 8 years ago now, driven by the love for photography and full of anticipation to bring "Junge Fotografie" into life. So I know from personal experience what the path to professional independence means and what is all connected to it, as well as that it's not always easy. Many planning tasks have to be done, risks and costs have to be estimated and especially sometimes patience has to be practiced. But at the end there is the dream of owning your own business or work as a freelancer for which it is worth fighting for, minor setbacks are of course included. ;o)
The winners will be announced at the "Global Entrepreneurship Week", and receive their prizes, which are gift vouchers (1000, - € 500, - and € 250, - € in the German national final) and cameras (of different price categories in the international competition).
I wish all participants the best of luck and sincerely congratulate the winners! --> More about the awards show HERE!
