Каждый год WORLD PRESS PHOTO проводит международный конкурс, призов которого удостаиваются лучшие фотографы мира. В 2003 году конкурс проводился в Голландии. Гран-при получил житель США, армянский фотограф Эрик Григорян.

По словам руководителя отдела образования организации «WORLD PRESS PHOTO» Мартина Кернса, в 2002 году в мире произошло очень много событий, которые были полностью освещены СМИ, а о разрушительном землетрясении в иранской провинции Казви 23-го января 2002 года весь мир узнал из фотографии Эрика Григоряна.

Prizewinners World Press Photo Contest 2003

The international jury of the 46th annual World Press Photo Contest has selected as

World Press Photo of the Year 2002 a black & white picture of the Armenian-American photographer ERIC GRIGORIAN who is represented by Polaris Images. In the photograph, surrounded by soldiers and villagers digging graves for victims of that morning’s earthquake, a young boy clings on to his dead father’s trousers as he squats by the grave where his father is about to be buried. The picture was taken on 23 June 2002, after a 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck the Qazvin province of northwest Iran, killing more than 500 people in some 12 villages.

3,913 professional photographers from 118 countries participated in this year’s World Press Photo contest, the premier annual international competition in press photography. With a total number of 53,597 images, the 2003 contest attracted a record number of entries. The percentage of digital submissions also shows an exceptional increase: 69 percent of all images were submitted in digital format (in 2002 this figure was 55.7 percent, in 2001 27.5 percent). The judging took place in Amsterdam 2-13 February. The jury gave prizes in 9 theme categories to 55 photographers of 21 nationalities from: Armenia, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, People’s Republic of China, Peru, Poland, South Africa, Spain, United Kingdom and the USA.
