Leica Open Call I M is M: What’s Your M Moment?

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Leica M-System, Leica invites you to participate in the contest “M is M: What’s Your M Moment?”.


The letter “M” can stand for many things, such as mood, motivation, meditation, or mindfulness—qualities that photographers often experience when capturing moments through their camera. The contest is an opportunity for photographers around the globe to showcase their skills and creativity, capturing the essence of Leica’s commitment to quality and innovation.


The winner will receive a Leica M11-P and have his/her work featured on Leica and Picter’s social media platforms. Additionally, shortlisted individuals will receive a copy of the hardcover book “Leica M”.



What winners receive?

The winner will get a Leica M11-P and will have his/her work featured in Leica and Picter social media publications. Additionally, shortlisted individuals will receive a copy of the “70 years of M” hardcover book in compensation for the rights to use their image(s).


Who can submit?

Everyone can participate. Submission is open to all ages* and all photographic equipment. * In the event of a final selection, formal family consent will be required if applicants are minors.


What's the theme?

The Leica M is the epitome of a rangefinder camera. Be selected as part of the global campaign “M is M” that is dedicated to the celebration of 70 years of Leica M cameras.
