Since 2010, an international jury of experts has awarded the ICMA annually. The ICMA Award, launched by Norbert Küpper, is a global competition for corporate media, books, corporate design and magazines. It provides an overview of contemporary graphic design and is primarily intended to promote the exchange of creative ideas at an international level and reveal trends.
Dagmar Varady for PRISMA - Kunst.Werk.Buch and Luigi Caputo for SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE were delighted to receive GOLD in the Photo books category.
GOLD in the Photo books photo reports category went to Sarah Caron for PAKISTAN, BRONZE in the Art books · books about artists, books by artists category went to Gerd Ludwig for BEUYS LAND and in the Book Design category the OPEN YOUR EYES catalog was awarded the Award of Excellence.
The awards ceremony will take place on March 10, 2025, traditionally on the eve of the London Book Fair in London.
And here is the jury's reasoning: PRISMA - Art.Work.Book: The book is a little smaller than DIN A3 and has a landscape format. It is a leporello, hand-bound. You can stand the book up and enjoy a photo exhibition. One side has the photos, the other the texts. Overall: Prisma is a book object with outstanding photographs. edition.lammerhuber.at/buecher/kunst-werk-buch
SALZBURG FESTIVAL - Combination of color and black and white photos. In addition to photos of performances, there are also many shots that allow viewers to look behind the scenes. Outstanding photography, varied imagery, lively scenes. Clear, consistent design with large image formats. edition.lammerhuber.at/buecher/salzburger-festspiele
PAKISTAN - Insight into the reality of a country. Touching photographs, up close. A great reportage volume with fascinating colors. edition.lammerhuber.at/buecher/pakistan
BEUYS LAND - Beautiful cover. The printed endpaper leads from the cover to the inside of the book. Exciting book format. Good-looking close-ups, surprising insights and interesting imagery. edition.lammerhuber.at/buecher/beuys-land
OPEN YOUR EYES - The book's features are particularly striking: softcover with open spine, dark natural paper, very good print of the photographs. Overall: innovative and very well-crafted. The jury says: great. edition.lammerhuber.at/buecher/open-your-eyes
The ICMA evaluates the concept and design of the media. According to organizer Norbert Küpper, International Editorial-Design & Research Forum in Meerbusch, the editorial texts cannot be evaluated because the submissions now come from all over the world.

Vienna Airport celebrated its 70th birthday on 1 January 2024. To mark the occasion, the airport invited eight photographers under the artistic direction of award-winning publisher and photographer Lois Lammerhuber to accompany and document the life of this very special place for 24 hours in order to honour those without whom this technical marvel would not function.
From 3 a.m. to 3 a.m., people were captured on camera in their hustle and bustle on the airport apron and the runways, during emotional farewells and greetings in the terminal, through to quiet moments and everyday work: interesting glimpses behind the scenes, facts worth knowing and pure emotion!
‘Once you have experienced flying, you will walk the earth forever with your eyes fixed on the sky. Because that's where you've been and that's where you'll always be drawn back to.’ From the TV documentary I, Leonardo da Vinci, 1965
The book ‘The Dream of Flying’ shows what achievements people are capable of when they are driven by zest for action, curiosity and a pioneering spirit. For the pioneers, failures were not defeats, but steps towards achieving their goal. Perseverance was their strength. The dream of flying is proof of what belief in what is possible can achieve. Every take-off, every flight, every landing is a reminder of this. #
Aviation has a history in Austria : airships and the first motorised planes such as the Etrich Taube, which were built in Fischamend - near today's airport site - at the beginning of the 20th century, were considered the best in the world. The ‘Royal Airforce Base’, which was handed over to Austria in 1954, was the beginning of Vienna International Airport. Today, around 80 airlines fly from here to more than 200 destinations in 70 countries worldwide.
In his text, the globally successful author Thomas Brezina gives a historical outline of flying itself, from Icarus to the Wright brothers to the Austrian pioneers of flying, and provides information in clever and humorous captions about what happens at the airport 24 hours a day. In addition, an extensive, informative chronology, which accompanies the book, documents the 70-year history of Vienna Airport.

“Humanity has opened the gates to hell,” warned Secretary-General António Guterres in an impassioned speech on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September 2023. ”Our concern is that all climate action will be dwarfed by the scale of the challenge.”
The La Gacilly-Baden Photo Festival, which took place from June 13 to October 13, 2024 in Baden near Vienna and is considered the largest photography festival in Europe, took this theme into account under the motto WORLD.NATURE.HERITAGE - as did the Month of Photography in Bratislava, which focused on the preservation of our natural heritage in its exhibitions.
"We must constantly talk about the world's natural heritage, perhaps even more than about cultural heritage. Without the preservation of natural heritage, cultural heritage cannot exist. That is why we have chosen the protection of biodiversity and raising awareness of the consequences of climate change as the central theme of the 34th Month of Photography. We conceived this program and selected the artists not only to highlight the apocalyptic consequences of the Anthropocene, but also to raise the environmental awareness of viewers and amaze them with the wonders of nature,” says Václav Macek, Festival Director of the Month of Photography.
Under the title “Culture of Solidarity ”, the festival in Baden has been cooperating with the Month of Photography since its inception seven years ago by showing highlights of the festival in Baden in Bratislava, according to Lois Lammerhuber, Director of the La Gacilly-Baden Photo Festival.
Today these are Martin Parr, one of the most influential photographers of our time, with a major retrospective of his work; one of the most important Austrian photographers of the interwar period Rudolf Koppitz, whose style and innovative power had an international influence on the photography of subsequent generations; the American photographer Beth Moon with her gigantic, “immortal” trees; Brazilian photographer Cássio Vasconcellos, whose collages of thousands of aerial images of landfill sites in São Paulo and airplane graveyards in the USA are intended to make us think about the way we consume; Images from orbit, prepared by Gerald Mansberger and Markus Eisl, which impressively show the human footprint on the earth; and the traveling exhibition Code of the Universe - an exhibition in cooperation with CERN, the world's largest laboratory for particle physics in Geneva, which will be shown outdoors.
The 34th Month of Photography Bratislava runs until November 30, 2024.
