Organized for the second time: the Lex van Rossen Awards.

From their website (www.popview.eu):

Every year, the Lex van Rossen Award will be awarded to a young European music photographer (under 35 years of age) during the Eurosonic/Noorderslag festival in Groningen (The Netherlands). The award is named after the famous Dutch music photographer Lex van Rossen, who unfortunately died at the age of 57 on the 24th of February 2007. Lex worked for magazines and newspapers like OOR, NRC Handelsblad and Haarlems Dagblad. He is considered to be one of the leading Dutch music photographers. In January 2008, jury chairman Frans Vreeke (also producer of the Eurosonic/Noorderslag festival) awarded the first edition of this prize to Dutch Music photographer Annie Hoogendoorn. Besides the Award, she also received 2500 euro’s.

So photographers under 35 living in Europe can all participate. You can send in 15 pictures, max. 700x700 pixels, somewhere between 1 September and 31 October 2008.

Pity I'm too old for entering...
Not surprising, since I was too old last year :p

Still, nice award, some very good entries last year. (And some not so good, YMMV)
