In cooperation with the International Festival of Photography in Lodz, Poland, we are proud to present in Riga the selection of 12 finalists of Grand Prix Fotofestiwal 2012, the contest for contemporary photographers organized by Lodz Fotofestiwal since 2006. More than 500 photographers from all over the world apply for the award every year, competing for a monetary prize together with an exhibition during the Fotofestiwal. An international jury of experts selects 10-12 finalists and the winner. In 2012, the main prize was awarded to Tomasz Lazar, the first Polish winner of the Grand Prix in the history of the Fotofestiwal, for his project “DREAMLINE (2008-2011)”.
