"GDAŃSK PRESS PHOTO 2011" – exhibition

For the past 15 years the Baltic Sea Cultural Centre and the Kosycarz Foto Press have been sharing a pleasure of presenting to you results of the Gdansk Press Photo competition. This is the most significant photo competition designed for photographers (both, professional and amateur) from the north of Poland (Pomorskie and Zachodniopomorskie Voivodship).

This round anniversary makes us take a little trip down memory lane: in the first competition 15 photographers took part sending all together 360 photos. This year we have received 1096 photos from 69 photographers. But not only statistics show the development of the competition – for the laureates of previous editions of Gdansk Press Photo this distinction was often the first step into a professional career.

Photos that will be presented this year create a gripping mirror of the past 12 months. We’re sure that these photos will accompany our little anniverary well.

Opening of an exhibition during which we will also award the laureates will take place September 7 at the BSCC gallery at 5.00 pm.

Exhibition will be opened till September 25 (opened every day within 10.00am and 6.00 pm).
