SLOVAK PRESS PHOTO is a contest followed by a photographic exhibition which provides an independent and authentic visual testimony of the life, as perceived by photographers from Slovakia and Eastern Europe. The contest and the exhibition are intended to give the public the opportunity to witness the events and phenomena which occurred in the previous year.
