Vera Bunina, Director of the Russian Centre for Science and Cultur in Brussels will open the event.
The Andrei Stenin International Photo Contest is an annual contest for young photojournalists aged between 18 and 33 years old. It is Russia’s only platform for discovering new photojournalists and for allowing them to make a name for themselves on the world photojournalism stage.
In 2018, around 6000 entries by young photojournalists from 77 countrieswere submitted to the contest. The winning entries were exhibited around the world. In 2016 the exhibitions were run in Moscow, Istanbul, Cape Town, Cairo, Berlin, Shanghai, Rome, etc.
The annual submission period starts on December, 22. The date marks the birthday of Rossiya Segodnya photojournalist Andrei Stenin, who died while on assignment and in whose honour the contest is named.
Also the Exhibition dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the Constitution of the Russian Federation was prepared for our guests.
