Moscow, November 18 (Xinhua) — An exhibition of selected photographs by the winners of the 11th Andrei Stenin International Photojournalism Competition will open in Moscow on November 19. This was announced at the awards ceremony for the winners on Tuesday.
In 2025, approximately 600 photographers submitted over 2,000 works to the competition. The photo exhibition, which runs until December 1, is jointly organized by the Russian State Historical Museum and the international media group Rossiya Segodnya. The exhibition features over 30 photographs by young photographers from 15 countries. The photographs were awarded prizes in the competition's five main categories: "Main News," "Sports," "My Planet," "Portrait. A Hero of Our Time," and "View from Above."
Dmitry Kiselev, CEO of the Rossiya Segodnya media group, noted at the awards ceremony: "The quality of the photographs improves every year. This competition itself has a formative effect and serves as a benchmark against which people compare their work, benchmark it against previous winners, and begin to see the world from the perspective we offer and which we encourage with our awards."
D. Kiselev emphasized that the works presented at the exhibition are extremely poignant, capturing traumas and joys in diverse locations around the world. "These photographs capture a vast range of emotional, intellectual, and aesthetic life," he said.
The best single entry in the "My Planet" category was "Fruit Trees Under Tents" by Zhu Mengdan from China. The photograph depicts the lives of farmers in Guangdong Province who erect tents over plum trees to protect them from extreme weather conditions.
The competition was established in memory of Andrei Stenin, a photojournalist for the Rossiya Segodnya media group who died in August 2014 while on duty. The competition's goal is to support young photographers and draw public attention to the challenges of modern photojournalism.
