Bookfactory Grand Tour - The expert jury

The expert jury of the Bookfactory photo competition

Together with the Grand Tour of Switzerland we are looking for the most beautiful photos of the many unique places and landscapes of Switzerland. You can win a week's holiday along the Grand Tour as well as many Bookfactory gift vouchers.

An expert jury of four photo and outdoor enthusiasts will also select the most spectacular photos, from which we will create a special Switzerland travel guide as a photo book. All the photographers represented will receive a copy.

Here you can participate directly in the competition until 20.11.2018.

The members of the jury and what is particularly important to them when selecting photos, we tell you here:

Robert Bösch – The mountaineer

Robert Bösch is one of the best known photographers in Switzerland. Bösch is a qualified geographer and mountaineer who goes high for his photographs - Bösch's impressive and powerful mountain and landscape photographs can only be taken with great dedication to the subject and patience for the right moment. His definition of a good picture: «A good picture is a picture on which the viewer gets stuck. You can't tell from a good picture whether it was taken by a professional, an ambitious amateur photographer or a random shot.»

Franziska Amstutz – The travel enthusiasts

As managing director of the Grand Tour of Switzerland, you almost inevitably have to bring two things with you: An enthusiasm for travelling and of course for Switzerland. Franziska Amstutz has both to such an extent that her answer to the question which event would have had a decisive influence on her life is not surprising: «My first voyage of discovery on a section of the Grand Tour of Switzerland! I myself am a big fan of our Swiss holiday route». According to Amstutz, the Grand Tour of Switzerland is the «Roadtrip No. 1» of the Alps and therefore it will pay special attention to Swissness and emotions in the photo evaluation.

Christian Burkhardt – Professions for photo passion

The CEO of Bookfactory, who is the third generation to run the Swiss family-owned company, is a passionate photographer himself and always finds it «amazing what emotions can be captured in pictures». Burkhardt will pay particular attention to the emotionality of the images when selecting them. This is obvious, since Bookfactory's customers «entrust us with their most personal, moving and lasting experiences - we also try to value this with our work by not compromising on quality, individualisation and personal service».

Twintheworld – Students, Photographers, Influencers

The 22-year-old Valentin Manhart and Roman Flepp are not only cousins, but also the photographer and influencer duo twintheworld. 169,000 followers on Instagram can't be wrong and their photos also show why they have so many fans: Consciously composed landscape shots focused on the essentials with that certain something. In their own work, the love of detail is important to the two students and they will also attach importance to this when selecting images for the Bookfactory Grand Tour: "When selecting images, we will pay special attention to creativity and image composition as well as to editing.
