A collection of over 50 works by winners of the Andrei Stenin International Press Photo Contest was put on display at the Debora Arango Public Library and Culture Park in Envigado, Colombia, on June 6. This marks the third exhibition for the photo contest in Colombia and the final stop for this year’s international roadshow.
The exhibition, showcasing photographs from all regions of the world, is sponsored by Phoenix Corporation, the Photographers’ Association of Envigado and the Envigado Mayor’s Office Department of Culture. The event will run until the end of June.

Phoenix CEO Luis Ochoa noted:
“The contest honors the memory of Andrei Stenin. The exhibition launched today in Colombia pays tribute to all of our colleagues who lost their lives while fulfilling their mission to inform the public about world events. It is unimaginable that in the 21st century, our colleagues and journalists continue to be killed, leaving their families behind. As a Colombian, I hope that in a few years, I will see Colombian photographers participating in this contest.”

Lina Maria Vasquez Angel, Head of the Department of Culture of the Envigado Municipality, also attended the opening of the exhibition. In her remarks, she stressed the importance of hosting the exhibition in Envigado: “Around 900 people visit the space hosting the display every day. Since the contest has become an example of world-class photography, we hope that it motivates many young people to participate.”
