Jury comment:
Among 500 photo-calendars, the photographers and journalists on the photo-jury made a find: „african colours“, the best photo-calendar of the competition, thrills through its special aesthetics. It mixes in an extraordinary way photo-art with elements of visual art. Printed on the finest paper, the result was: compelling!

For over 20 years the BFF photo-artist Esad Cicic has been around in the world of advertising and fashion and has photographed, among others, many top models and actors such as Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Monica Bellucci, Till Schweiger, Kai Wiesinger and Sharon Stone, and many others for well-known magazines and advertising campaigns. In recent years Esad Cicic has devoted himself more and more to free and social projects. For the calendar of the Wakina Mama na Watoto Foundation, he has photographed yet again.

In the year-calendar „African colours“, the expressive photographs of the fashion-and-people photographer are underlined by the overlain graphic elements of the art-director Rolf Wenger. Through the beautiful graphics, each of the twelve photographs receives an exclamation mark. That here two friends and successful artists realise a common labor-of-love project for the foundation, becomes visible in the result.
