Photographer from London Anastasia Taylor-Lind is awarded a prestigious
international prize for the project National Womb: Baby-Boom in
Nagorno-Karabakh, the initiator of which is the non-commercial
Photographers’ Organization Center in Santa Fe.
In her work, Taylor-Lind presented the state program of birth
rate encouragement in the NKR, according to which, the newlyweds
are granted cash benefits for every newborn baby to ensure stable
demographic development of the region, which strongly suffered from
the war unleashed by Azerbaijan.
Anastasia Taylor-Lind will get a cash bonus in $10 000 and will present
her work at an exhibition in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She will also
have an opportunity to attend the annual Photo Gallery in Santa Fe,
which brings together hundreds of photographers, editors, and curators.
The contest’s jury comprised representatives of Denmark, Mexico,
Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Great Britain, and the USA. In their
statement, the contest’s organizers noted, “Regardless of the area,
where the photos were made, bringing victory to the author, this work
covered universal topics, to some extent internationally highlighting
the issues that affect us all”.
