Tamedia drops out of photo night

Sponsoring The magazine is cutting back on its photo night The magazine photo night used to be a high-profile customer event exclusively for advertisers and other invited guests of the Tamedia magazine. Because the Tagi publishing house no longer wants to dig so deep into its sponsorship coffers this year, the photo night on May 9 will no longer be called Magazine Photo Night. "Selection Opening Night presented by EWZ" is the new title. The new main sponsor of the gala is the electricity company of the city of Zurich, in whose Selnau substation in Zurich the show with the best photographic works from advertising, editorial and art will now take place as part of a catalog opening and award ceremony. However, this largest photography prize in Switzerland, worth CHF 10,000, will continue to be financed by the magazine and presented by editor-in-chief Res Strehle, according to organizer Romano Zerbini. He wants to see the change from a customer event to a gala night as an opportunity to widen the circle of people interested in photography. The exhibition at Unterwerk Selnau will run until May 25. A supporting program is in the works (pan).
