30 / 10 / 2025
The State Historical Museum, a respected long-time partner of the Andrei Stenin International Press Photo Contest, has provided its platform for the exhibition and the award ceremony of the contest for many years.
“We have a longstanding and very successful cooperation with the State Historical Museum. This year, the exhibition of the Stenin Contest will again take place in Red Square, the heart of the country. This is evidence of the contest’s prestige. It is also deeply symbolic because the contributions of the contest winners, who are creating a chronicle of modern history, will be showcased in the country’s main historical museum and the center of Russia,”
- contest curator Oksana Oleinik noted.
Invitations to the event have been sent to the heads of the relevant committees of the State Duma and the Federation Council, ministries, as well as Russian and international public organizations, media outlets, creative unions, the diplomatic corps accredited in Moscow, and the Russian winners of the contest.
The program of the ceremony includes an exhibition of selected entries by the winners of the 2025 contest. The exhibition will be held at the museum’s Resurrection (Voskresenskiye) Gate between November 19 and December 1, 2025.
This year’s shortlist included single photographs and photo series by young photojournalists from 15 countries. The contest jury reviewed about 2,000 entries submitted by 593 participants from 40 countries, including Russia, India, Iran, China, Italy, the United States, Spain, Great Britain, South Africa, France, Ecuador, Syria, Mexico, and others.
Media accreditation for the event will open on November 10, 2025.
