Meet the photokina PIONEERS!

This year photokina will present the “photokina PIONEERS” for the very first time. This brand new community is aimed at all photo and video enthusiasts, who would like to see their shots online and to take on new challenges related to the theme of imaging.

Taking part is worthwhile – for consumers just as much as professionals: anyone can post their best, most beautiful, moving, exciting and spectacular photos and videos to demonstrate their pioneering spirit. Participants can look forward to a range of tempting prizes, from entrance tickets to the fair and its special events to up-to-date professional equipment.

Exciting challenges and a host of new perspectives await all who have what it takes to be a pioneer.

At photokina the pioneers can be found in the PIONEERS cube, where they will report on their experiences as pioneers and about the products they have discovered during the challenges.

Become a photokina pioneer now!
