The International Photo Contest was established on December 22, 2014. It is named in honor of Andrei Stenin, a special photojournalist for Rossiya Segodnya who was killed in southeastern Ukraine in August 2014 while carrying out his professional duty.

The contest is the only international platform in Russia dedicated to discovering emerging talents in photojournalism, promoting high professional standards and defining benchmarks for the quality of documentary photography. Its mission is to support young photojournalists aged 18 to 33 in their pursuit of professional excellence.

The awards ceremony held on 18 November in Moscow marked the start of the traditional exhibition tour showcasing the winning works. The international programme already includes gallery stops in Ethiopia, Serbia and Argentina, with more destinations to be added.

🌐 On November 5-6, Samara hosted the first-ever Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD) Ministerial Meeting on Sports.

The decision to hold this event was made during the 3rd ACD Summit in Qatar in October 2024. The Russian side came forward with a proposal to host the ministerial meeting.

🤝 The declaration adopted following the meeting outlined the objectives for promoting both traditional and digital sports. The participants exchanged national experiences and best practices in promoting sports and called for avoiding discrimination against athletes, including regarding their admission to international competitions.

The conference demonstrated Asia’s steadily growing demand for positive practical cooperation. Sport is a promising area that boasts great cooperative potential when not deliberately distorted.
