AFP photographer Chandan Khanna awarded first prize at the Andrei Stenin International Press Photo Contest 2021
This competition, created by the international news agency Rossiya Segodnya, with the support of the Russian Commission for UNESCO, is dedicated to promoting new photojournalists. The award, designed for young photojournalists aged between 18 and 33, is a tribute to Andrei Stenin, a photojournalist killed in 2014 at the age of 33 in the Donetsk region of Ukraine.
The AFP photographer Sergei Gapon had already won in 2018 several awards in the same competition, in the "Top news single image" category and with a special mention from the jury.
