The EYEʼEM AWARD is a global competition celebrating creative excellence in mobile photography. It is our mission to create a unique showcase of the scene’s most admired shots and present them to a wider audience. All winning images will be exhibited in an exclusive AWARD EXHIBITION in Berlin. Moreover the finalists will be published in the EYE’EM Annual, a book dedicated to mobile photography. EYE’EM announces an international jury including some of the worlds leading mobile photographers, creatives and designers from America, Asia and Europe.

The EYEʼEM AWARD 2010 is dedicated to a new generation of photographers. With the increasing quality
of in-built cameras, more and more mobile phone users discover their passion for photography. Capturing
both, people and context, situations as they happen, these photographers become voyeurs of the
everyday and document the world as they see it.
“To take photographs means to recognize – simultaneously and within a fraction of a second – both the
fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting oneʼs
head, oneʼs eye and oneʼs heart on the same axis.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson
There is already an exclusive crowd out there who have proved themselves worthy of carrying on the
mission of Cartier-Bresson, the point and shoot legend of the 1940s. EYE’EM features remarkable mobile
photographers on http://www.eyeem.com/blog. The global mobile photography movement has been
gaining momentum for years. EYE’EM is convinced that the time has come to push forward a new form of
art. Mobile Photography is rising and ready to conquer the global art scene. And EYE’EM provides the
stage for it.

Koury Angelo on his blog: “Wow! The Downtown Art Walk LA was amazing on Thursday.LoftSEVEN, the gallery that exhibited my new series, “Perspectives,” was packed to the brim for the group show “Indian Summer.” LoftSEVEN is such an awesome venue and the penthouse and rooftop views of downtown LA are incredible! We had a line of people downstairs just waiting to get in the elevator. Thanks so much to my sponsor, CameraBag, for their help in making this show possible. I literally couldn’t have done it without them!” more @ kouryangelo.blogspot.com.
