The winner of the best series category in The European Photoawards is Panos Charalampidis and Mary Chairetaki with 'Cornucopia'.
.
"Cornucopia” (horn of plenty), is a personal artistic research on the Lassithi plateau’s elusive identity. Lassithi plateau, situated at 840m ASL on the island of Crete, is a natural fortress with a particularly fertile land, surrounded by mountains. First inhabited during the Neolithic age, it became a major cult place of the Minoan civilization. This rich land, which has nourished the inhabitants of Crete for centuries, is the same place that according to the myth, Zeus was born in a cave and according to another myth is the bridal bed of Europa. The plateau, similar to other Greek rural areas, has been under economic stress long before the generalized crisis. Young people are fleeting away, and the population is shrinking. Being part of a continent that gallops towards an unknown future, we investigate the contemporary imagery of a lost link, that is part of the core mythology of Europe, seeking the possibility of the existence of a place’s resilient identity, that can only be found on the verge of the imaginary. As reflective practitioners, we persistently confront our experiences of this place, while shaping an unintended path that is open to interpretation.

The winner of the best portrait image in The European Photoawards is Patrick Junker!

Already 26 years before the founding of the European Union in 1993, the first organ was carried across the border from Belgium to the Netherlands. For the networking of transplant centers, the foundation "Eurotransplant" was founded in the same year 1967. Today, about 7,000 organs are transplanted annually between the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia. One of the 136 million people living in the member states of Eurotransplant is Gerd Kuck. In 1991 Gerd Kuck was diagnosed with an incurable heart muscle inflammation. Ten years later he suffered a heart attack which forced him to live with a pacemaker with defibrillator function. Since April 2008, Gerd Kuck has been on the waiting list for a new heart. His chances were bad: He’s 1.96 meters tall, needs a big heart. With his blood type 0 positive, he competes with many patients. In 2013, he became so weak that he almost died, so the doctors transplanted him an artificial heart. He marries again, gets a daughter, builds a house. In November 2017, at 51, it becomes clear that he won’t survive with his artificial heart. At the end of 2017, 703 patients in Germany were waiting for a heart. But, in the eight Eurotransplant countries, only 548 hearts were removed, of which 250 were in Germany. With 9.3 donors per one million inhabitants, the willingness to donate in Germany in early 2018 was at a historic low. In other countries, such as Belgium or Croatia, the rate is three times higher. On the 5th of September 2018, after 3804 days of waiting, he had a transplant with success. On the 31st of October, he is allowed to return home and enters his new house for the first time. In January he started to work again.

The winner of the best landscape image in The European Photoawards is Conohar Scott! With this image from 'Vetta e Abisso'.
.
Vetta e Abisso, which in English translates as Summit & Abyss, is a project documenting the famous white marble quarries of Carrara, Tuscany. The title of the project is a reference to a line from Goethe’s Faust which remains, according to the scholar Marshall Berman, the pre-eminent drama on the tragedy of industrial development. The series begins at the summit of the Apuan Alps, before descending into the marble quarries, and culminating finally in the pulverisation of the rock as fragment and dust. Over one hundred marble quarries operate in the Carrara locality, and it is commonplace for illegal mining to take place in areas designated as National Park land due to the profitability of the stone. Marble of a lesser quality is also pulverised and sold as a textural agent in a variety of beauty products, such as toothpaste and face creams. Over-mining in the region is altering the micro-climate as whole mountains quite literally disappear, and for this reason mines are increasingly drilling into the Alps in a bid to hollow them out from the inside.

Congratulations to Tomoya Imamura for placing 2nd in the Best Series category for his work 'Petöfi's Corpse'.
.
'Petöfi's Corpse is the attempt to describe the Hungarian present whose post-socialist reality nourishes a new form of nationalism. After ventures of the foreign rule, the perspective of the loser shaped the identity if the country and today leads to a rediscovery and reinvention of one's own history...'

Congratulations to Deanna Pizzitelli for placing 2nd in the Portrait category for this image from her series 'Koza, Women & Other Stories' in The European Photoawards.
.
'The title describes three chapters, or projects, that I developed between 2015 and 2019. While each chapter is distinct, they are unified by recurrent themes and visual strategies. Together they move through various geographies (Slovakia, Iceland, Albania and more) to explore the emotional landscape: themes of connection, uncertainty and desire...'

Congratulations to Alnis Stakle on placing 2nd in the Landscape category for this image from his series 'Lost' in The European Photoawards.

The cities of the world are concentric, isomorphic, sychronic. Only one exists and you are always in the same one. It's the effect of their permanent revolution, their intense circulation, their instantaneous magnetism...

Congratulations to Mu-Tien Ho on placing 3rd in the Best Series category with 'Homes' in The European Photoawards.
.
"As a foriegner, I am fascinated by the large street-facing windows in residential buildings in Brighton. They are very different from my city, Taipei, where people live in high apartments with small windows. The windows in Brighton remind me I am not in my city, but at the same time they also offer me clues to British everyday life, about which I am very curious..."

Congratulations to Alexandre Silberman on placing 3rd in the Portrait category for this image from his series 'The Great Beauty'. With almost 120 of them, Paris has one of the biggest concentration of museums in the world. It is maybe because the ideological foundation of Paris is artistic, fruit of a speech of which the museum is both the preacher and the parish. And like every ideology, the beauty doesn't accept any alterity: it absorbs, digests and regurgitates according to it's principles.

Congratulations to Robin Hinsch on placing 3rd in the Landscape category for this image from his series 'Sapad' in The European Photoawards.

The Suwalki Corridor, a 65-kilometer-wide strip of territory linking Poland with Lithuania, is considered NATO's most vulnerable choke point and Europe's most potential conflict zone. Using this military 'Achilles Heel' as a metaphor, Robin presents a cinematic sequence of photographic artefacts, hints and thoughts about the future of the European Union.

Hello everyone, @willycoutts here on day 7 of my takeover this week. I am a portrait and documentary photographer working in Stockholm and London.

This is a portrait of a family in Coney Island, New York. I love that the woman is so heavily pregnant and wearing a bikini, how they are embracing each other and the look on the baby’s face! I am always happy with portraits when I capture what initially attracted me to the subject.
Hope you have enjoyed my takeover. I would like to give a big thanks to the guys at Photographique for being great at what they do whilst being so friendly and helpful. They didn’t pay me to say that but perhaps they will remember the next time I’m getting some prints made!

Hello everyone, @willycoutts here on day 6 of my takeover this week. I am a portrait and documentary photographer working in Stockholm and London.

I spent my childhood growing up in the South West of England. The most exciting time of the year was Glastonbury Festival, which I feel very lucky to have had as part of my teenage life. This image captures both the festival and that glorious time when you were a teenager and you didn’t mind not washing for five days! Originally shot for @vice in 2013. @glastofest

Hello everyone, @willycoutts here on day 5 of my takeover this week. I am a portrait and documentary photographer working in Stockholm and London.

This is from a series documenting Peckham in 2013, the area of London I was living in at the time. It’s an area which has seen a great deal of change over the last few years and this was something I wanted to document whilst it was happening in front of me.

Hello everyone, @willycoutts here on day 4 of my takeover this week. I am a portrait and documentary photographer working in Stockholm and London.

This is also from my series documenting men. This is a builder in Stockholm, I think he has a very interesting face and has almost feminist qualities. I am interested in trying to document masculinity and all the different ways that can be shown.

Hello everyone, @willycoutts here on day 3 of my takeover this week. I am a portrait and documentary photographer working in Stockholm and London.

Thought this would be an appropriate portrait for a Sunday, from my series on men. Priest with shopping, London.

Hello everyone, @willycoutts here on day 2 of my takeover this week. I am a portrait and documentary photographer working in Stockholm and London.
This image is from a series I made in Coney Island. This young boy was racing past me when I stopped him. He was so full of charm and assured me there was “No need to rush, man”. I think his confidence really shines through in this portrait.
