What distinguishes a good photo? The motif? The quality of the craftsmanship? The moment? A star-studded jury have to answer this question every year, because the organisers of the CHIO Aachen, the Aachen-Laurensberger Rennverein e.V. (ALRV), award the “Silver Camera” for the best international equestrian sport photo of the year annually.

This year, the dressage rider, Jessica von Bredow-Werndl; last year’s winner, Terri Miller (USA); Andreas Müller (Managing Director, Medienhaus Aachen) and the ALRV Chairman and CHIO Aachen Show Director, Frank Kemperman, are responsible for selecting the winner and the runners-up. “The quality of the photos is fantastic. The decision-making process wasn’t easy,” Frank Kemperman commented about the 114 photographs submitted. The following were ultimately nominated for the “Silver Camera” (in alphabetical order):

Franziska Sack
Andreas Steindl
Diana Wahl

The winner will be announced on Saturday evening, September 18^th. The winner collects prize-money to the value of 2,500 Euros, second place is endowed with 1,000 Euros and third place receives 500 Euros.
