The Andrei Stenin International Photo Contest is an annual contest for young photojournalists aged 18 to 33.
It is Russia’s only platform for discovering new photojournalists and allowing them to make a name for themselves on the world photojournalism stage. In 2016, around 6000 entries by young photojournalists from 71 countries across 5 continents were submitted to the contest.
