The competition shortlist contains entries from 14 countries
The finalists of this year’s Andrei Stenin International Press Photo Contest have been announced.
Photographers from 14 countries are competing in four categories: ‘Top News’, ‘Sport’, ‘My Planet’, and ‘Portrait’. The winners will be announced in September in Moscow.
The photos chosen for the final depict key events from around the globe, including anti-government protests in Armenia, a migrant caravan in Central America, floods in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the recovery from Covid-19, and the storming of the US Capitol building in Washington, DC.
The award is named after Andrei Stenin, a young photojournalist killed while covering the conflict in Donbass in 2014.
The event is organized by Rossiya Segodnya, Russia’s state-run media group. RT is one of the contest’s media partners.
RT (Russia Today) is a state-owned news organization funded by the Russian government. The information provided by this news source is being included by the Libertarian Hub not as an endorsement of the Russian government, but rather because it is being actively censored by Big Tech, Western governments and the corporate press. During times of conflict it is imperative that we have access to both sides of the story so we can form our own opinions, even if both sides are spewing their own propaganda. The censorship of RT, despite likely being a propaganda outfit for the Russian government, reduces our ability to hear one side of the conflict. For that reason, the Libertarian Hub will temporarily republish the RSS feed from RT. Visit https://rt.com
