Fujifilm Euro Press Photo Awards 2002
The exhibition will last from February 5th until March 2nd, 2003 The expert jury made up of Mgr Lucia Lendelová, Prof. Václav Macek and
Ing. Peter Mračna is pleased to note that participation in the
national round of the photographic contest Fujifilm Press
Photo Awards has considerably increased against that of last
year, as a consequence of which also the overall qualitative
standard of the pictures presented has improved considerably.
A total of 27 authors took part in four categories - Life,
Sport, Events and Portrait - where the category Life was
especially abundantly represented. In the domain Sports
photography, pictures of physically handicapped skiers by
Roman Benický made an unusual impression by their forceful
impact, just as Martin Marenčin's did in the category Portrait
- standing out by their unusually colourful appeal. In the
category events the jury chose as the best photograph the
spectacular picture by Jaroslav Žiak showing the welcome given in
Bratislava last year to Slovak ice-hockey players as world
champions. The absolute winner of the contest was Martin Kollár
(in the category life) who concentrated the bleak atmosphere
of the August floods in an absurd photograph of a dead fish
on the shovel of a cleaning-up volunteer. It only remains for
us to hope that next year will prove more sparing in similar
catastrophes, but even richer in interesting photographs.
