through striking images by leading photojournalists. The project
is open to local and international photographers. The focus is
on portfolios rather than individual photos. Potential contributors
should contact Srdan
Pajic, IWPR designer.

was awarded a 2nd place in the General News Stories category
at the World Press Photo Awards in 2007.
