this year 8645 authors sent to 59.5 thousand pictures. The winners were 15, including five children and adolescents up to 16 years. Adults get fame and money (prize: 250 thousand rubles), young photographers – professional camera. Although no prizes will not replace the moral satisfaction, which goes to the winner, who was sick friends, and supported in social networks thousands of strangers. Alexander Romanov, won the prize for a touching picture (baby-herder with a Teddy bear on open spaces of the native Yamal) could not hold back tears. And the audience of online meetings – tide of emotion. What is unusual is that personal presence and tactile (handshake celebrities) release emotions. And the virtual world – it is different, cooler. But here and now there is a breaking of stereotypes.
Alex Levashkin of the Nizhny Novgorod region became the winner of the audience award and also won in the nomination “These funny animals”. A unique case: jury PRO did not know how to vote the audience, and the people could not know the preferences of the jury. The is called simply: “the Scops owl”.
the Scops owl is an owl-dawn, from the expressions of the faces which it is impossible to resist. By the way, I highly recommend to start a working day with a viewing of works in the “These funny animals”: a positive charge will remain. Don’t believe me, believe the wise Marina Loshak, the Director of the Museum. A. S. Pushkin, which expressed willingness to work in the jury of this contest at least every morning. And admired authors of the best photos: “to achieve such a result, we must learn to include deep meditation inside yourself.”
Where are these fabulous pictures to watch? The organizers promise to conduct physical and virtual exhibitions of works of the finalists, several of the images will adorn the streets of cities. And be sure to visit the website of the RGS. And the best shots will “adopt” the army and Navy. As reported by the President of the RGS Sergei Shoigu, the photos are being uploaded to the ships. Priority crews who perform their duty in isolation from the homeland. Now, for example, up to 80 ships serving in distant seas and oceans. And yet these pictures the Minister of defence ordered to be placed in warningsbefore. Why? Have a healing effect.
over the six years of the competition PRO has received over half a million photos. That’s a lot, but still not enough. Two members of the jury Sergei Gorshkov (guru-wildlife photographer) and Maxim Marmur (face Nikon, Pulitzer prize finalist) said bluntly: Russia is a beautiful country, but “neonata”. These words can be regarded as a call: participate. If there is no expensive camera, no problem. You can shoot on anything, even on a smartphone. Remember that you will have to evaluate not only the pros who have their own idea of angles and so Many members of the jury vote from the heart. “I’m onwas cenival work exclusively emotionally, proceeded from momentary feelings, – said Nikolay Rastorguev. – It amazes me how hard some of the shots are mined, they require among other things and even the courage, instant reaction.”
Yesterday, the jury discussed several proposals to abandon the category “Smartphones”, to revive the nomination “the Birds”. Decided smartphones to leave the birds to return. In addition, at the suggestion of Sergei Shoigu, enters the contest of the beauty and power of the water element. But in this case, as summed up by the head PRO, the contest in any innovations will retain all: a national, not a competition Pro.
