OSCE Photo Contest 2010 Winners Announced

With this opening entry to the new EurasiaNet photo blog I am featuring the recent announcement of winners for the OSCE photo contest 2010 called Tolerance, Transparency, Tradition, Trust. A video of the some of the winning and finalist entries can be seen below.

A Russian language version of the video is also available, along with a gallery of the winners' and finalists' images.

Eric Gourlan, who shot for EurasiaNet in 2006 and 2007 in Kyrgyzstan, was one of the winners. Other finalists included Vadim Mudarisov from Kazakhstan and Laili Palvonova from Tajikistan.

The winners of the OSCE contest were announced June 29 at the OSCE High-level Conference on Tolerance and Non-Discrimination in Astana, where the images are on exhibition.
