The North Face Photo Competition "Longer Days"
My picture of Cachoeira da Fumacinha, Brazil won the 1st place on May 29th 2014.

For this contest and for the obvious outdoor theme, I chose one of my all time favourite outdoor pictures, which I took from beautiful Fumacinha waterfall (Chapada Diamantina, Brazil).
It seems, that it was a good choice! ;-)

Lost Place Photo Competition & Calendar 2013
My picture of Ross Island, Andaman is one of the 13 winning photos.

In summer 2013 gocacher.de launched a photo competition for its annual "Lost Places" photo calendar. Fortunately, during my recent trip to India I made an intense photo session on beautiful Ross Island, Andaman, which was the Administrative Headquarters for Andaman and Nicobar islands, before an earthquake forced them to shift to Port Blair. Since then the nature is reclaiming the island back and the old buildings gradually convert into a modern Angkor Wat. A perfect spot if you're looking for some great Lost Places motives! I sent just one picture to the competition and it seemed to be a good choice. Some weeks later the jury informed me, that my picture is one of the 13 winning photos.

Lonely Planet 100 million guidebooks competition
Finalist (200 out of 130,000 pictures)

Lonely Planet was celebrating his 100 millionth guide book with the world's largest travel mosaic and a huge photo competition. As a long time fan and user of Lonely Planet guide books (I bought my first LP back in 1994 and today I have more than 30 LP guide books at home), it was obvious, that I would add a photo to the mosaic. Finally more than 130.000(!) pictures from literally all over the world have been uploaded, which makes it one of the biggest photo competition ever, with a total Prize money of AU$ 180,000.
Some months later I received an email from Lonely Planet, that my photo "Returno a Cachoeira da Fumacinha" was selected one of the 200 finalists. (By the way: Pretty interesting country statistics. What's up with us Germans? Just 2% in the final round!) This really made me happy, not only because of the rather generous prize for each finalist, worth AU$ 800. ;-)
Also, my picture made it into the offical Online Gallery , which includes just 60 of the 200 finalists, and it's even among the 30 best images selected by the Telegraph.
