Last week, the jury meeting for the 10th photography competition for school students in Hamburg took place, on the theme “Same, same, but different” – inspired by the festival theme of the 9th Triennial of Photography Hamburg 2026: “Alliance, Infinity, Love – in the Face of the Other”.

The competition was initiated by the Ministry of Culture and Media and the Ministry of School, Family and Vocational Education, and is being held for the first time in cooperation with the Triennial of Photography.

We are delighted with the 223 enthusiastic entries and a fantastic selection of around 20 award-winning works, which will be presented at the Deichtorhallen as part of the 9th Triennial.
