Entertainment, sports activities, art, fighting for a better future – all these feature in the daily life of young people in Serbia, and inspired the participants of this year’s photo contest with the theme “Biti mlad u Srbiji” (Being young in Serbia).

A five-member jury selected four winners from over 1,000 photos submitted to the competition, which was organised by the Delegation of the European Union in Serbia, National Geographic Serbia, Politikin Zabavnik, and Erasmus Student Network Serbia. This is one of the activities with which the EU Delegation in Serbia marked 2022 as the European Year of Youth.

In the category for best photos of citizens, the awards were given to:

1st place – Miloš Krstić, Festival Euphoria (Exit Festival, Novi Sad)

2nd Place – Irena Ljubanović, Woman showing solidarity to another woman (Belgrade)

3rd Place – Jana Cekić, And, What Now? (Belgrade)

The photo which won first prize will be published in the Serbian edition of the National Geographic magazine, as well as in Politikin Zabavnik. The four winning photos, as well as 16 shortlisted photos, will be exhibited during December at the EU Info Centre in Belgrade, Novi Sad and Niš. The photographers of the best works will be awarded vouchers for electronic equipment; the winning photo will be awarded a voucher for the purchase of electronic equipment worth €1,000, the second prize is a voucher worth €500, the third prize is a voucher worth €300, while the best photograph of an EU project receives a certificate.
