CHIO Aachen 2013: Cindy Voss nominated for the Silver Camera Award

Shooting the perfect photo is sometimes like winning the lottery and it is a well-known fact that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. The same also applies in the field of equestrian sport.

The jury of the “Silver Camera”, comprising of Ludwiga von Korff (last year’s winner), Andreas Müller (Managing Director of the Zeitungsverlag Aachen), Erich Timmermanns (Director Advertising & PR, Sparkasse Aachen) and Frank Kemperman (Chairman, ALRV), were faced with the difficult task of selecting the best equestrian sport photo from the 64 entries submitted by photographers from all over the globe.

Because at this year’s CHIO Aachen, World Equestrian Festival, the “Silver Camera” for the best equestrian sport photo of the year will once again be jointly awarded by the Sparkasse Aachen, the Rheinische Sparkassen- & Giroverband and the Aachen-Laurensberger Rennverein e.V.

“The submitted photos have covered the whole diversity of the equestrian sport sector. Each photo is unique. So, it certainly wasn’t easy to make a decision,” Frank Kemperman summed up. The nominees for the “Silver Camera” are (in alphabetical order): Dirk Caremans (Belgium), Cindy Voss (Germany) and Arie de Vroet (Netherlands). The winner will be announced in the Main Stadium on Saturday evening, June 29th, following the Prize of the Sparkasse, the hunting competition over ditches and banks. The winner will receive prize-money to the value of 2,500 Euros, the runner-up picks up 1,000 Euros and third place is endowed with 500 Euros. The prize is jointly conferred by the Sparkasse Aachen, the Rheinische Sparkassen- & Giroverband and the Aachen-Laurensberger Rennverein e.V.
