Belarusian Photoblog Wins Deutsche Welle Weblog Award
The best of the blogosphere was on display at the 2007 Best of the Blogs Awards -- The BOBs. A Belarusian photoblog earned the contest's top jury prize. (15.11.2007)
And the winner is: Xenia Awimova
Xenia Awimova, a 23-year-old aspiring photojournalist who lives and works in the Belarusian capital of Minsk, runs "Foto-Griffoneurei" ("Photo-Mania"). Her collections of photos chronicle her life and that of her home city.
"In Belarus there are not many independent newspapers or other platforms where people can express their opinions," Awimova said after being told of the award. "That is why a lot of young people write blogs."
The site features a collection of Awimova's black-and-white photos with only a brief description of the picture. It was the simplicity and the beauty of the site that gave it its appeal, jury members said.
"With few words, this excellent blog succeeds in portraying the daily life of people in Belarus," said Christian Gramsch, program director of DW-WORLD.DE and DW-RADIO.
