The approximately 360 applications were reviewed by 14 internationally-sourced judges, with the winning entries publicly exhibited from June 6 to 23 before and during Art Basel, at PhotoIreland 2013, and Lagos Photo Festival. One winner’s photographic collection will be presented in European Photography magazine as part of the prize. The annual competition is open to photographers of any age and descent. Eligible are submissions comprising between 10 and 25 images, representing a body of work and must relate to an African theme. There is no entry fee. POPCAP was awarded first in 2012, with five winners chosen from 140 submissions by a panel of nine internationally-sourced judges. During the POPCAP ‘13 exhibitions we will aim to maintain a constant discourse regarding African topics through public events running alongside the exhibition, with the overall objective of enhancing awareness of African themes in the arts. To achieve this we are partnering with Museum der Kulturen Basel, the bblackboxx, No Border Academy, and K'Werk-Bildschule bis 16 for the exhibition in Basel. At the Museum der Kulturen POPCAP '13 PERSPECTIVES is on display, showing works from both K'Werk and bblackboxx, No Border Academy. Due to its extensive application in a day-to-day context, we consider photography to be the ideal medium from which to foster an unhindered exchange of ideas.
