Lumix festival (since 2009) is a biennial in Hannover, organized by the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in cooperation with the German photojournalist union FreeLens. Universities, photo- and journalism-schools as well as professional photo reporters up to the age of 35 from all over the world are invited to participate.

Two prizes are awarded to photographers up to 35 years old: the multimedia award for the best multimedia presentation, and the FreeLens award for the best photo report. The latter is issued by FreeLens, the biggest German organization of photojournalists.

Rules and application forms can be found on the website.

Director of the festival is Rolf Nobel. For questions, please contact Isabel Winarsch.
