A five-member, independent jury, presided over by Michael Dannenmann, an internationally renowned portrait photographer from Düsseldorf, is free to select winners in thematic categories, with Fashion Photography being a category in its own right for the first time in 2019. This category covers the entire fashion spectrum and every aspect of representation including accessories.

The four remaining categories are carried over and include Portrait, Landscape and Nature, Photojournalism and Editorial, and Free/Conceptual Photography. An overall winner is chosen from the category winners.
