Best Travel Photo Contest Ends

Sanja Knežević Wins Contest

The response exceeded all expectations: some 400 contestants submitted over 800 photos, which were mostly sent by amateurs but were of professional-grade quality. Second prize went to Aleksandar Ganić, and  third to Dušan I. Dimitrijević.

The winner of the Best Travel Photo contest winner that won first prize: A seven-day stay in Tunisia (in sub-season) for two, with expenses covered, including airfare and tax, is Sanja Knežević of Stockholm for her photo titled Putevi (Pathways), shot in Sweden in October 2009.

Second prize: Two free air tickets on a Jat scheduled flight went to Aleksandar Ganić of Belgrade for his photo called Krf 2 (Corfu 2), shot at Corfu, Greece, in July last year.

The third prize: A seven-day stay for two at the Prolom Banja spa along with an organized tour of Djavolja Varoš was won by Dušan I. Dimitrijević of Belgrade for the photograph dubbed Let ka Nebu (Flight to the Sky), shot at Corynos, Greece, in June 2009.

Thus ended the contest organized by the NEW REVIEW editorial staff to mark the 35^th anniversary of this in-flight magazine and its 200^th edition issue. The prize contest lasted for a year, from July 2009 to June 2010. From the submitted photos, the jury each month shortlisted those photos they thought best for the particular month’s batch. Some 400 people sent in over 800 photographs to the NEW REVIEW for the contest.

The jury, comprising Imre Szabo (STATUS magazine photography editor) – president and Milan Melka (NEW REVIEW photography editor) and Dejana Vranješ (NEW REVIEW art director) as members faced a difficult task of choosing from among many outstanding the three photos they thought best each month and ultimately of deciding the contest winners from among those they already picked.

The NEW REVIEW editorial staff would like to thank contest participants for taking part and in this way honoring our anniversary.
