The contest attracts worldwide attention

On her account, Oksana Oleinik, the curator of the photo contest and the head of the Photo Projects Desk at Rossiya Segodnya, said, "For both the contestants and the organizers, this is a crucial and eagerly anticipated event. Every year, while we wait and empathize with the artworks that we receive, we, the members of the International Jury, the Organizing Committee, and the whole working group, are eager. Every year, we sincerely hope that things will go well and even improve."

"Our contest has become so well-known, as many photographers from different countries seek to participate in this international event," she added.

Oleinik affirmed that the 2023 contest will continue the tradition of road shows or touring exhibitions of the winning photos in Russian and foreign cities, inviting everyone to visit the contest's website and view the "remarkable and intriguing shortlist."

It is worth noting that roadshows provide an opportunity for young photojournalists to showcase their photos around the world and draw attention to the most pressing problems and challenges of our time, as per the organizers. Since the launch of the contest in 2014, the exhibitions traveled to over 40 cities in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.

All about the contest

The organizer chose to name the competition after the Russian photojournalist Andrei Stenin, in honor of his memory, having worked in red zones in the Arab World, such as Egypt, Syria, Libya, and Gaza and was martyred in August 2014 while covering the war in Ukraine, after winning the "Silver Camera" award in 2010 and 2013.

Professional photographers aged 18-33 can submit their work through https://stenincontest.ru in Russian, https://stenincontest.com in English, and https://cn.stenincontest.com in Chinese.

As in previous years, photo series and single photos can be submitted in four categories: Top News, Sport, My Planet, and Portrait: A Hero of Our Time.

One single photo and one photo series can be submitted for each of the four categories. The submission deadline was on February 28, 2023.
