What do the people say about
the photo contest
We asked the winners of past editions to tell us what they think
I chose LuganoPhotoDays to propose the work on the Balkan route because I was impressed by the quality of the previous editions and the authors who had participated and won.
It was gratifying to receive the first Reportage prize, to be hosted, to have the exhibition, the catalogue and also the Fujifilm prize.
The award opened up further possibilities for me to continue my work on the infrared border in Mexico, and to exhibit a future exhibition in Turin (Italy) and various publications.

Enrico Carpegna
Winning the LuganoPhotoDays photo contest was a great early-career opportunity to have my work exhibited and to meet professionals in the delightful setting of Lugano. Thanks for everything!

The victory in 2015 with project named “Kopankas”, gave me new energy and motivation to deepen the history of the Donbass coal miners

Giorgio Bianchi
It was a very nice surprise because I thought I had only won the “Wildlife & Nature” category, but then the jury selected me as the overall winner of the Premio Città di Lugano. The group exhibition was great with fellow photographers Pablo E. Piovano’s series, “The Human Cost of Agrotoxins” and “Balcanica” by Enrico Carpegna, winner of “Reportage & Documentary”. Congratulations to the festival for putting Lugano on the international photo map.
