As of yet this has not been opened, which has caused individual criticism in the forum. There is a reason for this. Before we ask you to submit your chat topics, we would like to convey our perceptions of this chat: We wish to hold hosted sessions in this chat. This means that the chat will be open during specified times and topics will be prior set. This makes it possible for competent contact persons from Leica to be in the chat, in order to give qualified answers to your questions. We have naturally gathered ideas, as to what topics would be interesting for these sessions. Your opinions are the deciding factor. Please utilize our forum, to hold discussions over the possible topics for a chat. We will follow these discussions and the results will be posted in our Event-Planning. The forum can be found under: http://www.leica-camera.com/cgi-bin/site_forum_main.pl?1 - - Oskar Barnack Award - New competition for 2001 Magnum photographer Luc Delahaye has won the Leica Oskar Barnack Award 2000 for his photoreportage ‚Winterreise' (A Winter's Journey). Mainly known for his photographic documentation of the world's trouble spots, Delahaye crossed Russia from Moscow to Vladivostok for this particular project. The pictures of the award-winning cycle were taken far away from the privileged centers in the outer districts of the towns he visited and powerfully show the human misery resulting from the country's inner conflicts. Leica Camera AG will be holding an international Leica Oskar Barnack Award competition again in 2001. Professional photographers are invited to enter individual photographs or series of up to 12 pictures which vividly reflect their keen perception of the relationship of man and his environment. The closing date is January 31, 2001.
