The list of the high-ranking awards which have been won by many of this year's Lumix participants is long: Picture of the Year, Unicef Photo of the Year and the Sony World Photography Award. Ten of the participants have already won the World Press Photo Award, the Oscar of the photography industry, including (among others) Julius Schrank (Kollektiv25), a photography student at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts, who won first prize in the category 'Daily Life' in 2014. (Let's be clear, la crème-de-la-crème of photojournalism).
