leica tour france – open call

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the call for applications organized by Leica Camera France as part of the Leica Tour. This event, which will take place in several major French cities, offers you the opportunity to have your photo exhibited in iconic locations such as the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.

This year's theme is "Singular Perspectives"—an invitation to capture the world's unique beauty through your own eyes. Whether you're an amateur or professional, this competition is an opportunity to share your vision of the world and participate in an exceptional photographic adventure.

The selected photos will be part of a traveling exhibition in five French cities: Paris, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, and Bordeaux. Visitors will be able to discover your work alongside other talents, but also enjoy immersive experiences around the Leica universe as part of the brand's centenary celebration.

The theme of this call for participation is entitled “Singular Perspectives”.

We invite each participant to submit a photograph that goes beyond a simple snapshot of everyday life. This theme opens up a vast field of interpretation, while encouraging a personal, thoughtful, and creative perspective.

The word “perspective” can be understood in different ways:

• In the photographic sense: the chosen point of view, the framing, the depth, the vanishing line, the play of planes or light.
• Figuratively: a vision of the world, a sensitive reading of a situation, an emotional or symbolic interpretation of a subject.

The word "singular" evokes something unique, different, out of the ordinary, marked by a personal intention. A singular perspective can be surprising, poetic, offbeat, intimate, or conceptual—it reflects, above all, the photographer's perspective.

This theme aims to stimulate everyone's creativity by inviting attention to composition, meaning, feeling, and the originality of the view. It's not about aiming for technical perfection, but rather about expressing a personal point of view through images.
