The organizers - the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hanover and the photojournalist organisation FreeLens - do not want to change the fundamentals of the successful concept of the festival, which had a great start this year. Merely subtleties will be worked over. Amongst others, the organizers plan to use modern communication technology to enable the visitors to hear the lectures both in English and German.

Otherwise, also on the 2nd Lumix Festival, 60 works of young photojournalists will be exhibited. Again, photographers from all over the world who are under the age of 35 can apply for one of the exhibitions. FreeLens will honour the best works with the FreeLens Award for Young Photojournalism. As before, exhibition areas are the futuristic pavilions on the Expo-compound. The lecture programme will also not be inferior with 8 lectures by world-class photographers.
For interested groups and school classes, there will be tours again.

Since the next festival will also coincide with a soccer-mega event, the soccer world championship in South Africa, a public viewing will be organised. The most important matches will be broadcasted on Panasonic large-format screens.
