The CEWE Photo Award unites photo enthusiasts - and celebrates the beauty of our world. The world's largest photo competition is starting its fifth round with the motto "Our world is beautiful"; photos can be submitted in ten exciting categories. Win the coveted award and one of 1,000 prizes worth a total of 250,000 euros.
