Contest for young photojournalists
Print Edition
THE Andrei Stenin photo contest is now accepting photos from young photojournalists around the world. Applications can now be submitted to the stenincontest.com website through March 22. Photographers aged between 18 and 33 qualify to take part.
The Andrei Stenin photo contest was established by Rossiya Segodnya under the auspices of Russia’s Commission for UNESCO. It is Russia’s only platform to discover new names and supports young professional photographers.
The 2017 contest will showcase four categories for which young photographers can vie for awards: “Top News,” “Sport”, “My Planet” and “Portrait: A Hero of Our Time.” The Grand Prix winner will receive 500,000 rubles (US$8,370). Even more important is the opportunity for young photojournalists to showcase their works at Russian and international exhibitions.
The 2016 contest was the largest ever since its establishment. The jury had to choose from among 6,000 entries by young photojournalists from 71 countries, including Russia.
Winning photographs have been shown in Moscow, Istanbul, Cape Town, Cairo, Shanghai, Beijing, Rome, Berlin, Maribor and Ljubljana.
The Grand Prix prize in the 2016 contest went to Italian photographer Danilo Garcia Di Meo for a photo series about paralyzed young woman, Letizia. The series won the hearts of the jury and, as a result, Letizia made her first ever foreign trip to Russia where she could tell her story in person and inspire many people who live a similar life.
The 2016 contest was supported by major Russian and international media outlets, including Shanghai United Media Group.
