“Couple”

‘The pandemic affected not only the economy, but also our relationships and the way we interact with each other. This photo is of a couple from Moldova who graduated from school in 2020 and ponder what they should do after - leave the country, like so many others, or stay’.

Moldova, Straseni.

🥁…. The winner of the Eastern Europe & Centr

🥁….

The winner of the Eastern Europe & Central Asia category of our #photographycompetition is Nadezhda Areshina @areshi.na from Russia 🥇👏

Untitled.

‘Children together with their parents & grandmother in the hayfield. While the head of the family is working, the children with their mother & grandmother spend time in the open field. Next to the tent they built a table and put out the food they brought from home’.

Altai Republic, Russia. 2020.

BEARR and the judges loved this photo. @nadiawbeard of @calvertjournal said of Nadya’s photo:

‘Nadezhda’s image was wonderful; it communicated a great sense of place, with the steppe in the background. It caught an everyday moment between these two boys, and there was something humorous and relaxed about their outfits and how they seemed to simulate a gesture we're used to seeing only with adults; pouring tea. It depicted community but among the young. A hopeful image’.

Congrats Nadya!

🏆📸 time to share some of our #photographycompetition winners with you! 🏆 📸

🥇 1st prize in the main category goes to Arpan Basu Chowdury @arpanbasuchowdhury from India:

Title: “Together we can”

'A healthcare worker gives an ATS injection to a pregnant woman at her clinic on the remote island of Sunderban, India. Reaching across the hospital bed to maintain social distancing measures, her face is concealed by the swathes of silken yellow fabric fashioned into a face mask. The makeshift PPE is a visual reminder of the struggles healthcare workers face in rural settings. Here, boats are the only form of transportation, and supply deliveries are irregular. As one of only three nurses on the island charged with serving the diverse health needs of the 20,000 strong population, innovation is essential’.

Sunderban Island, India.

Congrats to Arpan who wins £300 & whose photo will feature in our exhibition!👏

More winning photos and a link to our online exhibition to follow shortly...

Thanks very much to everyone who joined the prize announcement, to the judges for picking the winning photos, and to everyone who submitted such creative & arresting images. The judges had a very hard time deliberating!
