The jury has decided to award the main Grand Prix prize for a series of photographs entitled Situation at the Vyšné Nemecké Border Crossing the Day After the Start of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine to the photographer of the SME daily newspaper, Mark Erd. Commenting on the winning photograph, jury chairman Kadir van Lohuizen said: „ The overall winner of the competition presents that this year´s events in Ukraine are to some extent a reality that has affected us all. The situation is not easy even in the Netherlands, where thousands of refugees from Ukraine are arriving and have nowhere to sleep” Kadir van Lohuizen describes the situation related to Ukraine, and Jana Garvoldtová adds: „The Grand Prix photographs capture not only the social and political consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but also the human story behind this tragedy. Western countries have always been willing to help. They have been more open in dealing with migration. The situation in Ukraine has also made Eastern Europe open to help, and we feel a shift in our perception of said help”.

A special prize, the Bratislava 2022 Grant, was awarded to a series of photographs, The Harbour Bridge, by Tomáš Hrivňák working for the N daily newspaper. The theme of this year´s Bratislava Grant is „Bratislava – A City with Better Public Space”. The winner receives €2 000 for a year-long project aimed at photographing changes in Bratislava.

In this documentary photographic project, I explore the Danube and Morava rivers as inseparable parts of Bratislava and its surroundings. Their condition is a direct reflection of long-term human activity and the climate changes we are all witnessing: last years floods and this extremely dry summer. Many are building their temporary or more permanent homes on the banks and their lives are closely linked to the rivers. The two rivers also form Slovakia natural border with Austria and the Czech Republic. Not so long ago, the banks of these rivers were lined by an Iron Curtain that separated us from the civilised Western world for many decades. The traces of communist terror are slowly and quietly growing into the landscape. 

Peter Korček (1980) is a photographer, teacher and PhD student at the Institute of Creative Photography at the Faculty of Philosophy and Science of Silesian University in Opava. In his free work, he deals with documentary photography. He focuses mainly on exploring the relationships between urban man and the environment that surrounds him and which he shapes through his activities. Professionally, he has worked for over fifteen years as a photojournalist in various Slovak publishing houses. He has exhibited in Slovakia and abroad and has won several awards for his work in the Slovak Press Photo and Czech Press Photo competitions.
