Every year, the Tages-Anzeiger magazine exhibits photos and awards a prize for the best work.By Beat Fritsch The photo night launched by editor-in-chief Roger Köppel three years ago has become a nuit fixe in the agenda of Zurich's advertisers and creative artists. This year, the event was once again held in the Selnau substation of the EWZ, which was able to put itself in the best possible light as a sponsor. During the interview with presenter Monika Schaerer, Bruno Hürlimann of the EWZ could not resist a little side-swipe and pointed out that the electricity industry was probably doing better than the telecommunications companies at the moment. Last year, telecom provider Orange was the main sponsor.
The winner of the CHF 10,000 prize comes from Geneva and is called Steeve Iuncker. His work about the life and death of Xavier, an AIDS patient, impressed the audience the most (WW 14/01). Criticism was heard here and there that the subject matter was somewhat hackneyed. Nevertheless, the expressive and emotional photographs of the terminally ill Xavier certainly deserved the prize.
The audience included artist Garda Alexander, who had just finished her work for the newly opened Hotel Seefeld (formerly Florida). She was responsible for the color concept and image selection of the renovated building and attended the photo night accompanied by web designer Catherine Stroppel from Atelier 10012.
Also meeting at the long bar were Jürg Brauchli from Tamedia's Executive Board, Tages-Anzeiger advertising manager Fridolin Holdener, who has since recovered from the spinal fracture he suffered at the end of last year, and Tages-Anzeiger publishing manager Dietrich Berg. Gabi Wettstein, who is jointly responsible for organizing the photo night at Tamedia, took the opportunity for a chat with Tamedia employee Ralph Hermann, who will be taking up his new post at advertising agency WHS in a month's time.
From the advertisers and their facing venues, we saw media specialist Petra Kreussler chatting with Caroline Villiger of Bols-Cynar-Ballantine's. Jolanda and Dominique von Matt from Jung von Matt/Limmat came with the new junior partner Alexander Jaggy.
Also present were PickPay advertising manager Sandra Ulrich with her friend Beat Stähli from Plakanda, Mister Direct Marketing Tarzis Bono, Jacqueline Joos, formerly with Lowe Lintas GGK and more recently head of communications at the women's magazine Annabelle, Claudia Gillardon from Facts, former Persönlich publishing manager Renato Turri, who can't complain about a lack of work at his own new company Yesway, agency owner Roland Sutter of Sulzer Sutter, Manuela Gualeni of Publicis, and last but not least SonntagsZeitungs event editor Johannes Bösiger, who will soon be detaching himself from the Tamedia Group in order to establish his own professional independence. For the time being, however, Bösiger is keeping it a secret what kind of company project it will be.
The bar and appetizers were organized by event manager Stefan Merz, who is always happy to be hired by Tamedia to host a wide variety of events. Merz was also responsible for the legendary five-year anniversary of Facts.
Hanspeter Lebrument, accompanied by Myriam Engler, came especially from the Grisons. With them, of course, we were able to rave about the still superb snow conditions in the Prättigau and Landwasser valleys, which were then checked again on the spot and in person on the Easter days in Davos.

visited the magazine's third photo night, which has already become a tradition, at the Selnau electricity substation before Easter. Conclusion: Culture is alive and well, and it attracts masses of people. In any case, the exhibition room was packed.
