Photography of the Year – Emzin, Cultural Magazine Award

Ljubljana, February 14

The Photography of the Year competition is an annual Slovenian photography project organised by Emzin, Cultural Magazine. The fact that the 2006 event was the twelfth in a row shows that this award has become a prestigious recognition of Slovenian achievements in photography.

Photographers submit their own entries. The call is open to Slovenian photographers of different generations, to amateurs as well as professionals dealing with various subjects, formats and techniques. This year's international jury again awarded works from different fields of photography.

The Award for Photo-reportage went to Manca Juvan for her photographs of the turbulent Middle East conflict characterised by an inner gaze. The first prize was awarded to Tanja Verlak for a series of black-and-white photographs conveying a feeling of confined space. The second prize went to Aleksandra Gruden for photographs with everyday motifs, and the third prize was bestowed on Pavel Gregorič for photographs with black-and-white and colour motifs.
