The Andrei Stenin International Press Photo Contest, which is in its fifth year, is a prestigious international event. It has made great contributions in encouraging young photographers around the world to spread positive energy, explore the humanistic spirit and promote the cultural exchange of photography in the world.

Excellent documentary works by young photographers from Iran, India, Spain, Egypt, Mexico and other parts of the world competed in the "A Hero of Our Time" special award category in this contest.

These works record the development of world civilization, display the focus of today's society, and also show that the contest has a high degree of humanitarian concern.

As China's most influential English-language media, China Daily Website is committed to promoting the cultural exchange of photography between China and Russia and worldwide, and creating more opportunities for young photographers to exhibit and exchange.

At the same time, China Daily Website hopes to encourage more outstanding young Chinese photographers to introduce Chinese elements onto the international stage so they can tell Chinese stories to Russian audiences, and global readers, with more vivid and touching works.
