ISTANBUL

A jury of respected professionals has the daunting task this weekend of selecting prize-winning photographs from over 11,000 submissions for The Anadolu Agency's 2015 Istanbul Photo Awards, supported by the Promotion Fund of the Prime Ministry.

On Nov. 1, photographers were invited to submit images on www.istanbulphotoawards.com to be assessed in several categories: News Single and News Story, for an individual news photo or a collection around a story, as well as Sports Single and Sports Story.

Since then, 11,587 photographs have been sent from contestants from 104 countries.

This weekend Istanbul will host a specially selected jury which include Stern Magazine’s Photo Editor Harald Menk, Getty Images Senior Director Georges De Keerle, AFP’s Photo Distribution Director Michel Scotto, World Press Photo award winner Guillaume Herbaut, war reporter Patrick Chauvel, plus The Anadolu Agency’s Visual News Editor Ahmet Sel and AA’s Photography Editor Firat Yurdakul.

The jury will decide on the winning photographs this weekend and will also select one photographer for a special award.

Competition results will also be announced on Anadolu Images, the international photograph platform of The Anadolu Agency.
