An exhibition of Anadolu Agency\u2019s 2017 Istanbul Photo Awards contest that rewarded 22 photographers from 17 countries opened Thursday in Turkey’s western Izmir province.<\/h2>\n

Attending the opening ceremony, Izmir deputy Necip Kalkan praised the exhibition.<\/p>\n

The Folkart Gallery in Izmir will display the winning photographs from this year’s Istanbul Photo Awards that saw around 25,000 entries in eight categories.<\/p>\n

Twenty-two photographers from 17 countries received awards during the March contest sponsored by Turkish Airlines and the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA).<\/p>\n

French photographer Frederic Lafargue\u2019s “Fleeing Daesh” was named Photo of the Year.<\/p>\n

Aris Messinis\u2019s series “Death in the Mediterranean” for Agence France-Presse won the News Series Award, while Adam Pretty’s photo “Below the Surface” taken for Getty Images won the Sports Single Award.<\/p>\n

Anadolu Agency Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board Saban Kizildag said the photo contest was receiving more international appreciation each year.<\/p>\n

Recalling that Istanbul and Ankara were also hosting the exhibition, Kizildag said the agency was planning to open two more exhibitions in New York and Moscow in the upcoming months.<\/p>\n

The exhibition in Izmir can be visited until Oct. 7.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
