Since 2004–05, the producers of the Gute Aussichten—New German Photography competition have presented the winning photos to an interested scene in more than one hundred solo shows. The competition fills a gap in the art world, which had previously left it up to chance or good luck to decide whether or not talented new photographers gained attention.

The competition takes place every year and the magazine DER SPIEGEL describes it as “Germany’s most prestigious competition for new photography.”
