A large exhibition covering 400 square metres is dedicated to the history and present of the photobook, with an impressive display of all the award winners from 2017 to 2024. Around 500 award-winning photobooks from the past eight years are on display at the Städtische Galerie im Leeren Beutel in Regensburg.
The competition is reorganised every year. Anyone who was born or lives in Germany, Austria or Switzerland can participate. This applies to individuals as well as companies. Gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded in 12 categories by a jury that changes annually.
The award winners from 2017 to 2024 form the basis of the photobook award archive, which will be added to the Regensburg State Library following the anniversary exhibition. Many renowned photobook publishers and photographic artists are involved.
On Saturday, 22 November 2025, the Municipal Gallery will host not only the award ceremony for the 2025 German Photobook Prize, but also the birthday celebration for 50 years of the German Photobook Prize.
And we are joining in the celebrations by presenting our award-winning books from the last eight years!
