Applications are now open for the Andrei Stenin International Press Photo Contest 2024 . The Andrei Stenin International Press Photography Competition was created on 22 December 2014 by Rossiya Segodnya under the patronage of the Russian Federation Commission for UNESCO. The Stenin Competition is the only competition in Russia that discovers new names in international photojournalism and develops quality standards for documentary photography. The competition aims to support young photojournalists aged between 18 and 33 in their quest for top professionalism. This year the competition celebrates its 10th anniversary.
The competition offers young photojournalists the chance to publicise their concerns. The main themes of the competition include global humanitarian challenges, national identity, social equality and the environment. The number of contest participants and countries of origin has been growing every year. The contest itself is also gaining popularity thanks to the exhibition of the winning entries, which have become an integral part of the event. They have been held in dozens of countries, including China, South Africa, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Turkey, Lebanon, Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, Hungary and Poland.
