January 23, 2008: Ten winners have been announced for the 2008 Hasselblad Master Awards, which received more than 1,700 entries.
With each entrant submitting 10 images, the judges had to review over 17,000 photographs from established professional photographers using large and medium format cameras. From 100 finalists, the jury selected 10 winners, who will each receive a framed diploma and the free use of a Hasselblad H3DII DSLR camera system for four months. During that time, they will be able to use the equipment as they wish, although they will also use it to capture images to be included in the production of a high quality, photographic book, to be launched at Photokina in September 2008. Winners in the various categories are as follows:
