The Delegation of the European Union to Serbia and the National Geographic Serbia magazine are organizing a competition for the best socially committed photography taken in Serbia, "Man in Focus". The photos should be e-mailed in the period from September 1 to October 20, 2020 to takmicenje@euinfo.rs.
The topic of the competition is socially committed photography in Serbia. At a time of challenge caused by the COVID-19 virus pandemic, which results in social isolation, concern for our own health and the health of our loved ones, as well as in economic uncertainty, which has affected all citizens of Serbia, we invite you to send us photos you have taken in your area, those from your isolation diaries or quarantine, everyday life, etc.
The competition is open to:
– All adult citizens residing in Serbia;
– Projects in the sectors of culture, democracy, human rights, social inclusion, migration, or to projects dealing with social issues, which are supported by the European Union in Serbia.
The expert jury will select three best photos and award them with vouchers for the purchase of photo equipment worth:
• First prize – 1,000 euros;
• Second prize – 500 euros;
• Third prize – 300 euros.
The jury will also award the "Special Jury Award for the best photo of the EU projects in Serbia".
The expert jury will select 15 best photos (including the three awarded ones), as well as five best photos submitted by authors from EU projects that will be published in the printed and electronic publication of the EU Info Center, as well as on web pages and social media accounts of the EU Delegation. The photo that has won the first prize will be published in the Serbian edition of the National Geographic magazine. The exhibition of the best photographs will be held during 2020 or 2021, depending on the health situation and in accordance with the measures and regulations related to the gathering of people in public places during the pandemic.
Do not worry if you do not have a professional camera, since the jury will also take into account photos taken with a mobile phone.
